The beautiful, simple call of the field cricket is one of my favorite insect sounds. In late summer though the huge choruses of katydids and cicadas often drown out the simple beauty of this love song. Later, as the season progresses into Fall and the temps dip to where the cicadas and katydids no longer sing, these simple, beautiful Field Cricket calls still last up to the time that the days just can't stay warm any longer. I like to see how late into the season I can hear these guys---something just hauntingly mesmerizing hearing this sound and no other on a mild Autumn day, after a cold night..

I was fortunate enough to capture this recording on September 4th 2013 in my backyard. Recording made around 4:30 in the morning with my H4N recorder using its internal built-in microphones.
