Musical Insects

Ruzzing or humming Of insects Is
mainly due to the rapid vibration OF
the wings, which often strike the air
more than 100 times a second, but
there Is sometimes a special quivering
instrument near the base OF the wings.
Chirping or triIling is due to some
sort of STIMULATING" organ, one hard
mart being scraped against another, as
