BEFORE the skeeters/mayflies get active....

is to locate a good peeper pond and at dusk walk up there
and find a comfortable place to sit down awhile...

they will hear you coming and typically go into silent mode
for awhile. after being very quiet one or two will begin singing
then ten to twenty will join in... eventually the whole place
will get loud with a peeper chorus of astonishing volume
close your eyes and listen ...and you'll here the reverberation
rhythm (back and forth)
that is quite hypnotic and gets almost deafening to listen to....

expose yourself to ten minutes of the peeper concert

then yell real loud a quick "HEY !!!!! " and it will go instantly silent
but all your body cells will still be vibrating from the high
frequency of their calls.
