Abstract

<p>Insects belonging to "Orthoptera" appear in the song "Mushi no koe" (or "The Voice of the Insects"). This study intended to investigate how much students were capable of identifying by observing the insects' shapes and listening to the chirping sounds, and also if the identifying abilities were influenced by the students' sex and other attributing varieties such as school, grade, and place of residence. As a result, the following three were clarified: 1. It was difficult to identify the insects by observing the shapes except for "Teleogryllus emma" and "Meloimorpha japonica". Additionally, it was difficult to identify all the insects only by listening to the chirping sounds. 2. There was a significant difference between male and female students. Female students found it more difficult to identify the insects than the male. 3. There was no significant difference by students' attributing varieties such as school, grade, and pace of residence.</p>
