Extract

The common snowy tree cricket (Occanthus niveus) of North America has made a prominent name for itself in American scientific literature. In fact none of our crickets have been so much discussed as this interesting pearly winged insect. There is something in its solemn, rhythmic, time-marking chirping that commands attention, so that all become impressed with its rhythmic music.
