Oecanthus quadripunctatus

Behaviour: 

Males of the four-spotted tree cricket Oecanthus quadripunctatus provide calling song with an average intensity of approximately 70 dB, and this can be increased by about 3 dB, equivalent to double the power output, by using the surface of broad leaves as baffles (36). [1]
