(i). cırcırböceği, küçük çekirge, (zool).
Explanation:
"Suzumushi or Bell insect is known to scientists as Homoeogryllus japonicus. And it's a tree cricket. It's black with long white antennae and a dark body. It has a really beautiful trill that it makes with its wings. They have a strange behavior where they're rubbing their wings together to produce this tone and then they vibrate their bodies which distorts the sound in a very interesting way."

"The name Bell insect refers to the call that has a bell-like quality Each singing insect has its own unique call, both in tone and the rhythm of the call and the pulsing of the sound. So people who study them scientifically can record the sounds and look at the acoustic characteristics and identify the specific species."
