Stridulation
Stridulation is the act of producing
sound by rubbing together certain body parts. This behavior is mostly associated with
insects, but other animals are known to do this as well, such as a number of species of
fish,
snakes and
spiders. The mechanism is typically that of one structure with a well-defined lip, ridge, or nodules (the "scraper" or
plectrum) being moved across a finely-ridged surface (the "file" or
stridulitrum—sometimes called the
pars stridens) or vice versa, and vibrating as it does so, like the dragging of a
phonograph needle across a
vinyl record. Sometimes it is the structure bearing the file which resonates to produce the sound, but in other cases it is the structure bearing the scraper, with both variants possible in related groups. Common
onomatopoeic words for the sounds produced by stridulation include
chirp and
chirrup.
