Nature sound expert Lang Elliot joins Coy Barefoot to describe The Songs of Insects on WINA’s Charlottesville–Right Now. This book, co-written by Wil Hershberger explains what katydids, crickets and seventy-five other kinds of bugs mean when they chirp, and includes a companion CD.
This is one of my favorite episodes we’ve ever had of Coy’s show. I listened to it as I drove to pick up my daughter from day care. Lang Elliot describes in good detail all that’s entailed in the night orchestra of insects.
