about
While recording on field for this project, we obtained the sound of an insect which we couldn't recognize.
After doing some research and consulting entomologysts at IMEDEA/UIB/CSIC, we could confirm that we had recorded Oecanthus dulcisonans (the white cricket) for the first time in Mallorca.
Traditionally, this delicate cricket has been confounded with two other species. Oecanthus pellucens is almost identical in morphology, but makes pauses when singing. Gryllotalpa gryllotalpa covers almost the same sound frequency, although it is a bit deeper.
This recording also serves as an example of the virtues of phonotaxonomy: species identification through sound.
In this summer dusk chorus, we can also hear a landmark bird of Mallorca: the stone-curlew (Burhinus oedicnemus) which in Catalan we call "Sebel·lí", a name imitating its song.

Can't help it, I'm hooked to the bone to this funky munky. The more I listen to it- read about it- & watch it, the better it gets. Where will this end? I'm a junky, in desperate need of every shot I can get of this stuff. This link will show you a mini-docu which gives a great inside of who he is and what he does. Enjoy!
