Thermometer in a flower 2020-10-13 - Jefferson Co., KY - Photo by Pen. An immature snowy tree cricket, checking out a yellow flower along the banks of Floyd's Fork.

It is thought that he based his research on the snowy tree cricket. Dolbear's math was a little more complicated, but according to The Old Farmer's Almanac, you can "count the number of chirps in 14 seconds, then add 40 to get the temperature" in Fahrenheit.
