Title: "The Songs of Insects"
Wil Hershberger works for the USDA as a molecular biologist studying the underlying genetics of fruit tree diseases. He has been an avid naturalist most of his life and photography has become an extension of this passion. His nature photography has received much acclaim through publications in various journals and books. He has published in Nature Photographers Magazine, Adirondak Explorer, National Parks, Appalachian Trail Conference, and Oasis Magazines, Media Books, Gladstone Calendars as well as various books and CD’s produced by the Cornell Laboratory of Ornithology. He recently published “The Songs of Insects” – a splendid full color book and audio CD coauthored with Lang Elliott. He will give a brief history on the study of insect song in the U.S. and the natural history and songs of numerous species of orthopterans and cicadas native to North America. Wil has thousands of sound recordings archived at Cornell’s Laboratory of Ornithology, Macaulay Library of Natural Sounds ranging from birds to bugs and has taught Bird Identification classes for the Potomac Valley
Audubon Society for over 20 years. He will also demonstrate how well the Songfinder device (which was developed originally for listening to birds) works for listening to insects.
