I have an odd question for the group, especially anyone from Egpyt, Greece
or Turkey. I know this is off the path of our regular discussion, but I'm
hoping that insects from the Mediterranean, being part of the natural world
(and a plant's life), could be considered for a moment. For a fiction novel
I'm writing, I'd like to know what insects from that part of the world make
sounds in the summer at night (like crickets or cicadas do here in the US).
I hope you don't think I'm too crazy asking this, but perhaps some of you
have fond memories of night sounds from travels or living in that part of
the world.
Would a lively discussion of symbiotic relationships between insects and
plants of the Medit regions allow people to forgive me for this transgression?
