Singing insects are cool. Cicadas in particular include some of my favorite singers of any family of animals.
Starting with many insects recorded for South of Midnight by Compulsion Games https://compulsiongames.com/games/south-of-midnight/ I'll add more from around the country and world as I'm able.

Sagebrush Cicada - Okanagana utahensis

I used to think that Washington had no singing Cicadas. It turns out I was wrong. We do have singing cicadas. They have a very brief window of singing that occurs mostly in July, although it can start as early as mid-June and carry into early August. I just wasn't listening in the right places at the right time. I guess that's as good an example as any that our own personal experience doesn't always equate reality.

- found in highly arid regions of Western and inter-mountain North America
- typically sings late-June to early-August from shrubs
- particularly fond of Sagebrush
- parabolic recording mastered for low-end noise pollution
- includes source
- recorded 2023 Summer Solstice day, 2023-06-21
- Taxonomic Family and Tribe: Cicadidae Tibicini

A herd of red cows approaching us from front and passing by on a warm September noon of 2019 at the hills of Southern Urals. Lots of energetic mooing, shepherd shouts and whistles, some birds chirping and moderate wind. I love this recording for its brutal and raw energy.
Recorded with Nevaton VR FOA mic into Zaxcom Fusion 12, decoded to binaural with Harpex-X plugin. Please listen on headphones for correct spatial reproduction.

For a long time I wanted to record a really surrounding, enveloping and moving wind through reed. I found the perfect conditions at the forest lakes in Karelia. This track sounds like some witches are chattering around, whispering their spells.

Recorded with Nevaton MC50 Quad into Zaxcom Fusion 12. Stereo Mix of Front and a bit of Rear channels.

Jared Blake is one of the most important human voices in the natural world today. His unceasing commitment to exhort us all to slow down and listen to the voices of the natural world, to work hard to understand what we're being told, is a cause and effort to be celebrated. in this episode, Jared tells us about his months-long recording expedition to the American Southwest, and about the extraordinary, often eerie, voices he heard while in the wild.
