Can make noise

Many insects are quite famous for the sounds they make. Examples: Cicadas, crickets, grasshoppers, and American grasshoppers all sing their own songs. Many beetles also make sounds, though not as gracefully as their straight-winged cousins. For example, woodworms make "creaking" sounds for many hours,...

Beetles spawn in a variety of environments, from grasslands, scrublands, and forests to swamps, beaches, and caves. The beetles are mostly nocturnal, and the male has a loud, persistent crowing to attract the female, although some species cannot. Interestingly, this chime is not coming from within its mouth but rather is generated through the friction between its wings. Commonly found adult beetles have two pairs of wings. The front wings are relatively stiff, and have the effect of vocalizing and protecting the body while the soft hind wings have the effect of flying.
