It's not a cricket. This one is not edible while crickets are.

The youngest of cricket is bigger than the most matured of this one.

They are not the same.
it's a cricket... Jst another specie... We have several species.....

Oga that's a cricket!

It's just like saying PDP is different from APC.





The fact that one stays in the bush while the other prefers to stay in the house doesn't make them different.

Ok, I'll buy a lion today in the market and keep as a pet in my house since it's a cat. Because according to Oxford Advanced Dictionary, a cat is a small animal with soft fur that people keep in the house as pet.

The bold wasn't needed and that kind of language is advisable anytime.

You misunderstood the whole thing. So does it mean I should tell my kid the name of crocodile is lizard?
