Account

What the sources say about this taxon, as written.

behaviour · bio.acousti.ca

The males produce snapping sounds audible from about 10m. To do this they lift one hind leg (sometimes both) and flick the tibia backards. In this way the apical spines of the hind tibia are struck against the fore wing. These tibial 'flick-sounds' are produced in an irregular series as the calling song, and also by both sexes, when disturbed, as a defensive sound.
