Fascinating. Mind if I ask an entomological question? My SO and I moved to Pittsburgh 3 years ago. Every summer, beginning in August, we've heard (but not seen) what we have taken to calling a "clickety bug". It makes an click-click-click-click-click noise (from 5 to 25 clicks) and then pauses for a minute or more. Unlike crickets, for example, these bugs don't seem to exist in great numbers, as we can usually detect no more than 4-5 of them in the immediate area. Any suggestions as to what it might be? Just curious - and we have been for 3 years ;-) -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
