Curr Biol. 2024 Jan 8;34(1):R26-R28. doi: 10.1016/j.cub.2023.11.034.

Abstract

Insect songs are compelling features of the natural environment, and insects provide diverse model systems merging the worlds of entomologists and engineers. An unusually well-preserved fossil katydid highlights the synergy between these disciplines and offers a compelling glimpse into the deep past.
