StridulationStridulation is the production of sounds by rubbing two parts of the body together; this mechanism is best known in cricketss, grasshoppers, and cicadas. Larval Lucanidae, Passalidae, and Geotrupidae also stridulate, rubbing a series of ridges on the coxa of the middle legs with a scraper on the trochanter of the hind leg.External links\n*Article about stridulation in Lucanidae (stag beetles) |
