“The recording you provided by email was analyzed using AVS Audio Editor, and confirms that your singing male tree cricket in a temperature of 84 Fahrenheit is Oecanthus texensis. The pulse rate for 1 second = 44. This is a good match for the graphs provided on Singing Insects of North America (SINA). /http://entomology.ifas.ufl.edu/walker/buzz/577a.htm — see Song data excel spreadsheet. If this were O. californicus, the pulse rate at 84 Fahrenheit (28.8 C) would be over 60 pulses per second.”
