The title reads: Ecological distribution of singing insects in a Pickaway County, Ohio swamp forest and along a marshy stream. A drawing of a swamp forest ecosystem with Orthoptera species labeled in each of their various ecological niches beginning at the top of a hill to the bottom. The ecosystem is broken down as such, starting from the top of the hill:
1. Damp swamp forest
2. Weedy, brush forest border
3. Wet, grassy field
4. Cattail marsh
4. Marshy, mucky stream
Stare at this. Forever.
