You could manage with less expensive equipment to start with, such as
handheld Olympus or Sony recorders, with add-on mics such as
Sennheiser ME66 for insects, or as David suggests, underwater mics
such as those made by Jez. Add some inexpensive headphones to your
recorder to listen in to the sounds.
Make sure your recorder will handle at least 96 khz WAV format,
because some insects call in high frequency range, above what human
ears can hear.
Study the sounds using (free) Raven Lite sonogram software.
Audacity (free) is useful as an audio editor, there are more
expensive editors for PC.
