Acoustic Mimicry by Caterpillars

This was first noted by @eraskin on the Caterpillars of Eastern North America project, and I thought that it would be of interest to this group --

Check out this cool story from Scientific American about an aspect of caterpillar behavior that many of us may have never thought about: the sounds they produce. Want more details? The research described appears to build upon the scientist's University of Montana undergraduate thesis.
