While exploring our surroundings the night sounds began to hum and we were captivated by the resonant stridulation of a katydid echoing loudly through the air. Intrigued, we successfully located the source and observed the creature in action.

This mesmerizing stridulation occurs as the scraper on the right forewing engages with a tooth-covered file on the left forewing - an intricate mechanism that left us utterly fascinated!
