Mole Cricket (Gryllotalpa spp.): The mole cricket produces surprisingly loud calls, up to 80–90 decibels at close range, using specialized wings to chirp from underground burrows. Males construct horn-shaped tunnels in soil that act as natural amplifiers, directing sound outward. These acoustic burrows can increase call volume and carry it over long distances to attract females. Their song is a continuous, musical trill, distinct from other crickets. Found in grasslands and gardens, they are often heard but rarely seen. Their underground acoustics demonstrate evolutionary ingenuity in sound projection. Though smaller than other entries, their amplified calls make them among the most vocally efficient insects in nature.
