  • Conehead Katydid under Shooting Summer Stars
    2025/08/01
    Recorded on July 29, 2025, at the dogtrot, this is the sound of the night chorus of katydids, crickets and cicadas rising beneath the summer meteor showers of the Southern Delta Aquariids and Alpha Capricornids at their peak. The recording opens with the bold, continuous trill of the robust conehead. At the 22-minute mark, the two-parted zeee-dik of the oblong-winged katydid cuts through the symphony of common true katydids. Overhead, a waxing crescent moon at 27% shares the dark sky with streaking meteors and the nocturnal insect hum of mid summer.
