The insect you rarely see but often hear chirping is the cricket. They are the ones who come out at night and they are very loud.

You can hear chick churpping inside egg?

Peeping and Pipping The chick will call out inside the egg as it starts to pip or break open the shell. As it makes the small holes in a circle from the inside you can often hear it making that plaintive little "Peep" "Peep" sound.


Which insect makes screeching noise at night?

Many crickets, frogs, cicada, owls, etc.. can make loud clicking noises at night. It's that sound you hear on a hot southern night that can put you to sleep. BUT, what happens when you hear a "clicking" noise that is out of the norm? This is a LOUD click 20-30 times over and over, not in three's (it almost does not sound like it could be from an animal; more like a machine, but it is not)! I would appreciate a response that makes sense i.e. it's not a cricket or a cicada (even when cicada have a specific call, this is not what I am talking about). Possibly certain species of owls at certain times of year? bats? snakes?


What is it meant by to hear the insect on the leaf pronouncing on to much life among his hungry brothers in the dust?

" Oh God, to hear the Insect on the leaf pronouncing on the too much life among his hungry brothers in the dust." The quotation is from the Ghost of Christmas Present commenting on Scrooge's utterance made about the poor. "If he be like to die, he had better do it, and decrease the surplus population.'" The Ghost is stating that it is cynical and wrong for those who have what they need (the insect on the leaf) to complain about the population who are disadvantaged or starving (the hungry brothers in the dust). To put this into context, it is like condemning people in Greece, who are badly afflicted by poverty and the recession, that they shouldn't have had so many children. Such comments suggest that poverty is the fault of the poor and that, therefore, they do not deserve help or compassion.


Can insects hear?

Yes, insects can hear, but their hearing is different from that of humans. Insects typically have specialized structures, such as tympanic membranes or sensilla, that allow them to detect sound vibrations. This ability is important for communication, mate attraction, and predator avoidance in many insect species.


Do moths make a buzzing sound?

Yes, most insects can hear. Insects use sounds to communicate with other insects, and to navigate their environment. Some even listen to the sounds of predators in order to avoid being eaten. Sound is produced by vibration, and insects hear by collecting and interpreting the vibrations in their environment. There are four types of insect auditory organs.Most hearing insects have a pair of tympanal organs. Think of a tympani, the large drum used in the percussion section of an orchestra. Like the tympani, the tympanal organ consists of a membrane stretched on a frame, over an air-filled cavity. When the percussionist hammers on the membrane of the tympani, it vibrates and produces a sound. The insect's tympanal organ vibrates as it catches sound waves in the air. The insect also has a special receptor called the chordotonal organ, which senses this vibration of the tympanal organ, and translates the sound into a nerve impulse. Insects that use tympanal organs to hear include grasshoppers and crickets, cicadas, and some butterflies and moths.For many insects, a receptor on the antennae called the Johnston's organ collects auditory information. Sensory cells on the pedicel, which is the second segment from the base of the antennae, detect vibration of the segment(s) above. Mosquitoes and fruit flies hear using the Johnston's organ.The larvae of Lepidoptera and Orthoptera use small hairs, called setae, to gather the vibrations of sound. Caterpillars often respond to such sounds by exhibiting defensive behaviors. Some will stop moving completely, while others may contract their muscles and rear up in a fighting posture.A structure in the mouths of certain hawkmoths enables them to hear ultrasonic sounds, such as those produced by echolocating bats. The labral pilifer, a tiny hair-like organ, is believed to sense vibrations at specific frequencies. Scientists note a distinctive movement of the insect's tongue when they subject the captive hawkmoths to those sounds. In flight, the hawkmoths can avoid a pursuing bat by listening for these frequencies.(from insects.about.com)

What insect do you rarely see but often hear is chirping?

The insect you rarely see but often hear chirping is the cricket. Crickets produce their distinctive sounds by rubbing their wings together, a behavior known as stridulation, primarily to attract mates. They are more commonly heard during warm evenings, especially in late summer and fall. While they can be elusive and blend into their surroundings, their melodic chirping is a familiar sound in many outdoor settings.
