I have heard that giant pill millipedes will sing mating songs through the form of stridulations.
I need to know: what do they sound like? thank
Sometimes when I disturb my P. occidentalis colony for cleaning or refilling the water the ants inside stridulate. It sounds like a mechanical wind up toy, getting louder and then quieter in a constant rhythm, and depending how agitated they are it can be heard across the room if everything else is quiet enough. Does anyone else experience this? It's honestly very intriguing and I haven't heard about it anywhere. I'd post a video but my phone microphone doesn't really pick it up.
For example, many insects would produce the word 'buzz'
recently ear about cicadia and got me thinking if you ppl have tried solving the liber primus from the outside in. like analize the stridulation of real world cicadia and watch for some kind of correlation between the frecuency numbers and the puzzle. is kinda the obvious first though. but most likely not related. the point is, from the outside in.
stridulation: the act of making shrill sounds or musical notes by rubbing together certain hard parts, as is done by the males of many insects, especially by orthoptera, such as crickets, grasshoppers, and locusts
