Crickets and Bugs

Hawai'i is host to hundreds of flightless native cricket and katydid species, whose musical stridulations can be heard in all native forests, night or day. This recording is from Waineke Marsh in Koke'e, summertime, after dark - excerpted from my CD "Kauai Mauka", track 8, "Waineke Polyrhythm".
