Mole crickets, so named because they dig underground burrows, also make loud noises with amorous intent, says British Zoologist H.C. Bennet-Clark. In fact, they make their burrows in the shape of double-horned acoustic amplifiers to concentrate and focus their siren sounds for maximum effect in attracting females. They produce the noise by rubbing a toothed vein on one forewing with a pluck on the other. University of Florida Entomologist Thomas J.

Her father, vice president of a bottling company, is not awed by her $80,000-plus income, she says, and her mother would be just as happy if "I married a nice pediatrician...
Just across the Athens-Piraeus electric railway, the dig looks more like the excavation for a large new office building than the repository of one of ancient Greece's most famous sites. But the signs of the celebrated stoa-which was about 60 ft. long and 20 ft. wide-are clearly apparent to the trained eye. Still visible amid the rubble are the base outlines of twelve Doric columns that ancient chronicles say guarded the eastern base of the portico.
