Songs of Insects Jukebox

Does your cubicle mate play “adult contemporary” while you writhe in agony? Well now you can strike back with the classic rock stylings of your favorite insects! Lang Elliot and Will Hershberger have recently completed a practical guide to 76 species of singing insects, including crickets, katydids and cicadas of eastern and central North America. The Songs of Insects includes an audio CD so you can finally put a name to that damn bug song that has been stuck in your head all day.

As part of what I consider a rather clever marketing ploy, Lang and Will offer an embeddable jukebox that is permanently tuned to insect songs. Listen to ours or get your own. Good times, great oldies!


(Thanks to Pat Deering for the tip. Hit “Play All” if you want it to cycle through)

    I tried Play All, and I’m glad I did, as I now learn that the scissor-grinder cicada is the one that made all that noise in my Appalachian youth. Before you die, you should make a point of hearing one of these guys close up. At a few feet, they are painfully shrill and deafeningly loud, while smaller than your thumb.

    This is just what American expats need.
    It brings tears to the eyes.

    I got the book for my birthday (with CD included) and can endorse it fully. Photos are beautiful!

    They also have an additional “ambient insects” sort of album on sale, if you want to hear crickets in the middle of January.

    …. a really terrific tutorial on combining Photoshop and Illustrator…. silly me, I believed they were already that way if you paid the $600+ for the whole package deal(CS5) !! There is so much more I need to learn about both !! :)

    I love this infographics and the way there are designed. It’s a way to deliver the information more creative.

    You really make it seem so easy with your presentation but I find this topic to be really something which I think I would never understand. It seems too complicated and very broad for me. I am looking forward for your next post, I will try to get the hang of it!
