The burrow acts as a resonator, amplifying the sound. Most male crickets make a loud chirping sound by stridulation (scraping two specially textured body parts together). The stridulatory organ is located on the tegmen, or fore wing, which is leathery in texture. A large vein runs along the centre of each tegmen, with comb-like serrations on ...
Ormia ochracea is a small yellow nocturnal fly in the family Tachinidae. [2] It is notable for its parasitism of crickets and its exceptionally acute directional hearing. The female is attracted to the song of the male cricket and deposits larvae on or around him, as was discovered in 1975 by the zoologist William H. Cade.
Male crickets of this species produce several distinctive chirps, though each sound is made by rubbing the two outer wings together. Loud and steady chirps made throughout the night are to attract females and to warn off other males. Loud fast-frequency chirps are emitted when males encounter one another and are preparing to fight.
Oecanthus fultoni, also known as the snowy tree cricket, [1] or thermometer cricket, [1] is a species of tree cricket from North America. [2] It feeds on leaves but also damages fruit. The chirp of this species is often dubbed onto sound tracks of films and television shows to depict a quiet summer's night.
It's just good practice: It lets people see if, say, the filter removed part of the sound of the crickets (it doesn't seem to have) and provides a starting point if someone wants to re-edit (Probably unnecessary).

Crickets are preyed on by bats during the night while they fly from one place to another. Avoidance behaviors by crickets were first reported in 1977 by A. V. Popov and V. F. Shuvalov. [9] [10] They also demonstrated that crickets, like moths, fly away from bats once they've heard their echolocating calls, an example of negative phonotaxis. The ...
Insects in the family Tettigoniidae are commonly called katydids (especially in North America) [1] or bush crickets. [2] They have previously been known as "long-horned grasshoppers ". [ 3 ] More than 8,000 species are known. [ 1 ]
