Spring is Right Around the Corner
With spring coming to the mid-latitudes singing insect enthusiasts should refresh their knowledge of the songs of the early singers.
The Spring field cricket is certainly the first that we will hear singing from south facing slopes in mid to late May. In June the Protean shieldbacks will sing from their grassy homes at the end of the day.
It will be wonderful to have our singing orthopteran friends back with us as the season progresses.

Welcome to our Blog! We hope that you find the interaction and additional content here and on our web site songsofinsects.com fun and educational.
Lang Elliott and myself Wil Hershberger are pleased that there is a great deal of interest in our book, “The Songs of Insects,” by Houghton-Mifflin Co. We hope to generate a new aesthetic in North America for the appreciation of the singing insects and the choruses that they produce.
We hope that you have fun here and we look forward to your questions and comments.
