The second track on David Rothenberg's CD Bug Music pays homage to an ancient insect's musical abilities. Here's the description from the liner notes:

Named in honor of Archaboilus musicus, the 165 million year old prehistoric kaytdid, whose fossil remains reveal an ability to sing distinct pitches.

Enjoy!
