Crickets are often considered the luckiest insects in the world.
Across various cultures, particularly in Asia and Europe, crickets symbolize good luck. This belief is deeply rooted in folklore, as noted by Jeanne Ewert, a specialist in folklore studies at the George F. Smathers Libraries at the University of Florida. Historically, people even kept crickets as pets, as illustrated in Charles Dickens' story "The Cricket on the Hearth," further solidifying their association with fortune and good tidings. The chirping sound of a cricket in the home was believed to bring prosperity and ward off evil spirits.
