It’s true. If you don’t stop under the trees and just listen for them, then you’ll never hear them. Your brain perceives a droning sound and tunes it out. So, go out and listen for this sound: https://youtu.be/ohRUgrQO_5g

Thanks, Ash-tree-sama! I don’t know what kind of insects you have in NI, but these tree crickets are everywhere, here in Kentucky, USA. Most of the people here don’t know they exist, though. I think I was the only h.s. biology teacher who taught biodiversity. Today, the emphasis is on biochemistry, that’s why people don’t know what a tree cricket is, or any other insect, or bird, or tree, etc. It’s criminal! Sorry!! Enough ranting!!
