Most insects that sing produce songs that travel through plant stems as vibrations. Learn more about vibrational singing, including: which insects (and other animals!) do it, how they produce these sounds, and why they are singing at all. There is an entire world of insect song out there just waiting to be heard!
How and Why Do Insects Sing with Vibrations? is a Science in St. Louis Series partnership program of the The Academy of Science – St. Louis and St. Louis County Library presented in collaboration with the Girls Can STEM Series initiative of The Academy of Science – St. Louis and the Zonta Club of St. Louis. Science in St. Louis is underwritten in part with support from Boeing and the Employees Community Fund of Boeing St. Louis, sponsoring the full array of Academy STEM Teens programming.
