Recordist's notes
Recorded in Summer of 2014, this is what I believe to be some type of large cricket, but hopefully somebody can identify the sound for me? It was captured on a dark, desolate dirt road outside of Romeo, MI, at around 10:30 pm with calm conditions. I used a Tascam dr-07 and a tripod, leaving the mic aimed right at the creature, just past the ditch on the side of the road.
