Sori

Sori are specialized sound-producing organs found in some animals, notably insects like crickets and katydids. They are typically located on parts of the body such as the wings or legs and generate sound through a process called stridulation, where a scraper and a file-like surface rub together. This sound is often used for communication, such as attracting mates or marking territory. The structure and function of sori can vary among species, and their ability to produce distinctive sounds plays a vital role in their behavior and social interactions.
