I take a lot of enjoyment and pride out of being able to properly identify an insect, but it really only takes some observation and the correct guide material. It would be much more rewarding (read as impressive for those who know me) to be able to listen to stridulation, tympanic singing, and buzzing and identify that insect purely by sound.
I'm far from that, so here is a field recording of some unknown insects chirping away in the tall grass next to the stream that runs in front of my fathers house.
