<p><b>Stridulation</b> is the act of producing <a href="Sound" title="Sound">sound</a> by rubbing together certain body parts. This behavior is mostly associated with <a href="Insect" title="Insect">insects</a>, but other animals are known to do this as well, such as a number of species of <a href="Fish" title="Fish">fish</a>, <a href="Snake" title="Snake">snakes</a> and <a href="Spider" title="Spider">spiders</a>. The mechanism is typically that of one structure with a well-defined lip, ridge, or nodules (the "scraper" or <i>plectrum</i>) being moved across a finely-ridged surface (the "file" or <i>stridulitrum</i>—sometimes called the <i>pars stridens</i>) or vice versa, and vibrating as it does so, like the dragging of a <a href="Phonograph" title="Phonograph">phonograph</a> needle across a <a href="LP_album" class="mw-redirect" title="LP album">vinyl record</a>. Sometimes it is the structure bearing the file which resonates to produce the sound, but in other cases it is the structure bearing the scraper, with both variants possible in related groups.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Common <a href="Onomatopoeia" title="Onomatopoeia">onomatopoeic</a> words for the sounds produced by stridulation include <i>chirp</i> and <i>chirrup</i>.

While <a href="Cicada" title="Cicada">cicadas</a> are well-known for sound production via abdominal <a href="Tymbal" title="Tymbal">tymbal</a> organs, it has been demonstrated that some species can produce sounds via stridulation, as well.<sup id="cite_ref-9" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-9"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>9<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>Stridulation is also known in a few <a href="Tarantula" title="Tarantula">tarantulas</a> (Arachnida), certain centipedes, such as <i><a href="Scutigera_coleoptrata" title="Scutigera coleoptrata">Scutigera coleoptrata</a></i>, and some <a href="Pill_millipede" title="Pill millipede">pill millipedes</a> (Diplopoda, Oniscomorpha).<sup id="cite_ref-Wesener_et_al_2005_10-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Wesener_et_al_2005-10"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>10<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
It is also widespread among decapod crustaceans, e.g., rock lobsters.<sup id="cite_ref-Meyer-Rochow_11-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Meyer-Rochow-11"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>11<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Most spiders are silent, but some tarantula species are known to stridulate. When disturbed, <i><a href="Theraphosa_blondi" class="mw-redirect" title="Theraphosa blondi">Theraphosa blondi</a></i>, the Goliath tarantula, can produce a rather loud hissing noise by rubbing together the bristles on its legs.

In the species <i><a href="Holocnemus_pluchei" title="Holocnemus pluchei">Holocnemus pluchei</a></i>, females also possess stridulatory organs, and both sexes engage in stridulation.<sup id="cite_ref-14" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-14"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>14<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In the species <i><a href="Steatoda_nobilis" title="Steatoda nobilis">Steatoda nobilis</a>,</i> the males produce stridulation sounds during mating.<sup id="cite_ref-15" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-15"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>15<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup>
</p><p>The anatomical parts used to produce sound are quite varied: the most common system is that seen in grasshoppers and many other insects, where a hind leg scraper is rubbed against the adjacent forewing (in <a href="Beetle" title="Beetle">beetles</a> and <a href="True_bug" class="mw-redirect" title="True bug">true bugs</a> the forewings are hardened); in crickets and <a href="Katydid" class="mw-redirect" title="Katydid">katydids</a> a file on one wing is rubbed by a scraper on the other wing; in longhorned beetles, the back edge of the <a href="Pronotum" class="mw-redirect" title="Pronotum">pronotum</a> scrapes against a file on the <a href="Mesonotum" class="mw-redirect" title="Mesonotum">mesonotum</a>; in various other beetles, the sound is produced by moving the head—up/down or side-to-side—while in others the abdominal <a href="Tergite" class="mw-redirect" title="Tergite">tergites</a> are rubbed against the <a href="Elytra" class="mw-redirect" title="Elytra">elytra</a>; in assassin bugs, the tip of the mouthparts scrapes along a ridged groove in the <a href="Prosternum" class="mw-redirect" title="Prosternum">prosternum</a>; in velvet ants the back edge of one abdominal tergite scrapes a file on the dorsal surface of the following tergite.
</p>
<p>Stridulation in several of these examples is for attracting a mate, or as a form of <a href="Territorial_behaviour" class="mw-redirect" title="Territorial behaviour">territorial behaviour</a>, but can also be a warning signal (acoustic <a href="Aposematism" title="Aposematism">aposematism</a>, as in velvet ants and tarantulas). This kind of communication was first described by Slovenian biologist <a href="Ivan_Regen" title="Ivan Regen">Ivan Regen</a> (1868–1947).
