Hard to Find Meaning
in Noise of Insects

The plaintive love-song Of the crick-
ct, and all the other insect sounds that
are heard on a summer night may
have no meaning at all to the insects
themselves.
Judged by human ears, the test IN
sect musicians of today belong to
rather primitive orders. The more
advanced groups, such as ants,
beetles, flies and butterflies, make no
sounds that we can hear, or else, at
most, only sounds that seem to us to
be nothing more than faint squeaks,
buzzes, huns, or clicks. Whether the
insects themselves hear these sounds
has not been determined beyond
doubt. It should be remembered that.
In mans affairs at least, many sounds
are made without intention, and even
contrary to desire-for example
sneezIng and snoring.
II the sounds made By insects are
merely incidental to friction between
parts of their body. then those sounds
have no biological significance, except
as they may betray the insect to Its
enemies.
