I just joined the group. I have been fascinated with the Magicicadas
ever since they emerged. I have been collecting clips of them since I
was unable to record any on my own. (we didn't have them in my town,
in southeastern PA. I had to visit a county park about 1/2 hr drive
away, and I didn't have any equipment.) So I am assembling all the
clips I can, and building a soundscape with Cool Edit Pro.

CAn you tell me what type of equipment you used to record those little
critters? Don't be too technical, just tell me if it is a portable
minidisc recorder, an mp3 player, a cassette deck, or what? and what
price range?

>It can be painful at times.

Really? They don't bite or anything. I think their song is adorable.
Wish I'd had them in my backyard!

It's because of my cicada experience that I've decided to check out
the possibility of recording some other singing insects.
