These interactive simulations [Click to Run] do not run automatically on this site. They are downloaded onto your computer. Check your downloads and click on the Java (jnlp) file to run. If they still do not run you will have to update your Java.

In this laboratory module you will identify insect sounds.
Here is a link to various insect sounds. How are you able to identify the sound that each insect makes?
