Alpine Crickets

The soft yet energetic sound of an alpine cricket singing in the wind is the ultimate sound of relaxation. Crickets chirp at different rates depending on their species and the surrounding temperature. The connection between temperature and the rate of chirping is known as Dolbear's Law. According to this law, it is possible to calculate the temperature in Fahrenheit by adding 40 to the number of chirps produced in 15 seconds by the snowy tree cricket. Let your mind fall back onto the soft grass and sweet dreams of an alpine forest.
