Oecanthus fultoni, also known as the snowy tree cricket,[1] or thermometer cricket,[1] is a species of tree cricket from North America.[2] Before 1960, the name Oecanthus niveus was wrongly applied to this species.[3]
In popular culture
It is a major plot point in the The Big Bang Theory episode "The Jiminy Conjecture", where Sheldon places a bet that a common field cricket, Gryllus assimilis, found in the apartment, is a snowy tree cricket. When the cricket is taken to the entomology lab at the university, it is identified as a common field cricket, and Sheldon loses the bet.
