Episode 24: Greater Anglewing – Voice of the Wild
Greater Anglewing, (Microcentrum rhombifolium).
Appropriately named, the greater anglewing has curiously rhombus-shaped wingcovers. These clicking insects emerge a few weeks after the common true katydids and add a strange stone-tapping sound to the grinding chorus of other night singers.
Thank you to Wil Hershberger for letting us use the insect calls from SongsofInsects.com.
