Donating to the Museum
Upon donation to the museum, Blathers the curator will say the following:

In Animal Crossing
"I actually find their voices quite soothing. On an autumn evening, when their cries fill the air...Delightful! Their appearance however, is not in the least bit engaging, and actually borders on repugnant. As for myself, I find them no better than cockroaches. Blech! Vile. Vile indeed. Truly, dirtily vile, eh wot?"

In City Folk
"Bell crickets top my list of insects one should never look at directly... Such a vision of horror! A slick black body, long antennae, and foul wings that shake when it chirps! Blech! How can one be expected to abide such an odious monster?!"

The bell cricket is located on the second tier of the insect section, in the area just above the ramp from the first level.

In New Leaf
"The chirping sound of bell crickets is considered beautiful and tends to represent the coming of fall. This easily recognizable chirping is created when males of the species rub their forewings together. The resulting sound is much higher in pitch than the human voice, so it can't be heard over a phone."

The bell cricket is located on the room on the left past the main room. It is located where the rafflesia is.
