Following are the figures of speech used in the poem The Ant and the Cricket:

Personification: When humans characteristics are given to animals or non-living things, it is called personification. The ant and the cricket are personified as humans as they are talking and thinking like humans.
Metaphor: It is the comparison of two things. In the last line “Some crickets have four legs, and some have two“, the poet compares lazy and careless people with the cricket.
