Night-time in the Jurassic forest was punctuated by the unmistakable sound of chirping bush crickets.
This is according to scientists who have reconstructed the song of a cricket that chirped 165 million years ago.
A remarkably complete fossil of the prehistoric insect enabled the team to see the structures in its wings that rubbed together to make the sound.
