Ear, there and everywhere. Location is the most obvious difference between one insect's ears and another's: There are ears on antennae (mosquitoes and fruit flies), forelegs (crickets and katydids), wings (lacewings), abdomen (cicadas, grasshoppers and locusts) and on what passes for a “neck” (parasitic flies).

Instead, their inner ear is connected directly to their jawbone, which rests on the ground as they slither.

Why are crickets ears on their knees?
