The Hapithus genus, often overlooked, plays a crucial role in the acoustic tapestry of our ecosystems. These insects are remarkable for their singing ability, primarily using song to attract mates and defend territories. Despite their small size, the sound produced is disproportionately loud, attributed to their specialized stridulatory organs which function much like a violin's bow.
