It can pick up ants walking on it, snails chewing, or wasps landing on it.

Food was provided daily to lure insects, but slails where welcome as well. It is a two piezo circuit, intended to be used with a balanced XLR input. There is two way to wire the piezos to the XLR plug: [http://gregoirelauvin.net/ftporth/locus/locusWiki/locus%20wiki/contact/entomophone.jpg|left] The balanced way, that can't be used with the hydrophone/piezo preamplifier. [http://gregoirelauvin.net/ftporth/locus/locusWiki/locus%20wiki/contact/entomo2.jpg|left] The chained way, that can be used with the hydrophone/piezo preamplifier, and provide very good level. With this circuit, a support plate with a metal cover can be used as a shield connected to the ground. Be carefull to keep the piezo from ground contact. Epoxy glue is a good way to attach the piezo to the support plate. It is recommended to cover the piezos with silicon or some kind of coating.
