Everyone knows that many insects can make sounds: some buzz, others creak, whistle and even sing ... In the East, many hundreds of years ago, some species of cicadas were kept in special cages so that they would delight the ears of rich nobles with their songs. Among these insects were real virtuosos, demonstrating a variety of loudness, timbre and repertoire. The pampered court singers were greatly appreciated. It was considered a special delight to present to someone as a gift a cage with an arthropod "nightingale". Such a gift was worthy of the emperor.
