Best Answer

Yes, they do. In fact, they have a very sensitive sense of smell. They are nocturnal creatures, so they use their antennae to help locate their food. Because of this, a cricket is mostly sensitive to chemicals released by plants. Their antennae can be useful for both locating edible plants and avoiding ones dangerous to the cricket.
