Summer serenaded by insect chorus
Have you taken the time to listen on a warm, summer evening? Trains, trucks and lawn mowers are the first sounds you may hear but if you tune them out you may hear a chorus of clicking, buzzing, chirping and creaking. You probably won’t see who is playing the sounds coming from the grasses, fields, trees and shrubs. As soon as you approach, the musicians--crickets, katydids and cicadas--will stop playing.
