Fun video! Also enjoyed your mention of Will Hershberger. I went on several hikes with him at New River in WV. Naturalist of many talents.
Well, how cool is that. Thank you for mentioning my book. We are so pleased that folks are learning and exploring the world of singing insects with the aid of our book.
Terrific post and thank you Vickie for sending me here.
Wil Hershberger
Thank you Vickie and thank you Wil.
Karen Sue and I have had great fun with your book this summer. It's made the Dog Days far more entertaining. We have been hearing these sounds all our lives; it's nice to be able to put names to them.
I highly recommend your book!
The next day we sat down to talk about periodical cicadas and got a little carried away in our adoration. (See today's post.)
