Stridulation

Post by Formica123 » Sat Dec 05, 2015 11:40 am

I know it's not the proper word but I couldn't remember it so I've called it 'singing'.
Little escapee and I put a mocroscope slide on him (he's not injured don't worry) and used my macro lens to record. Put it on full volume to best hear :)
