Supersonus

Supersonus are the crickets that can produce the world's highest frequency sound of 150 kHz. Humans often hear sounds lower than 20 kHz and the other varieties of crickets can only produce sounds of 5 kHz – 30KHZ. Newly discovered this type of crickets is included in the Supersonus genre. They can’t fly high due to their small wings and their high-frequency sound aid them to attract their pair and preventing their predators.
