Crickets belong to order Orthoptera. They have a pair of cercus at the end of the abdomen. The cercus is a pair of appendages at the end of the gut of some insects and other arthropods. Many forms of cerci serve as a sensory organ, but some serve as pinching weapons. In many insects, they may be functionless vestigial structures
