Crackers

[Chris J. Durden]

What about the interpretation of  the thickened crossvein at cell end in 
some males that may act as a castanet? I cannot add to this because 
although I have seen and caught hundreds of crackers I have never been 
there when one has cracked. Maybe nobody has studied this yet, let alone 
film-recorded it in progress? We have all heard the tale that they crack. 
How many have actually observed this for themselves and which species?
