The Backyard Chorus

Learn about the most common singing insects, with special reference to those in NC, and discuss the function and mechanisms of sound production for crickets, katydids, and cicadas. We will share species-specific songs that help you identify them and learn how the chorus in your backyard changes during the year.

Presenter Tim Forrest is an Emeritus Professor of Biology at UNC-Asheville and has been studying and teaching about insect biology and behavior for over 40 years.
