 In Jamaica, what goes bump & chirp in the night? 

I know... a loaded question.

And what creature is it that sounds like a tree frog or a cricket through the night? I love those guys... they lul me to sleep and I even feel like I'm "home" when I talk to someone at night on the phone that is in Jamaica and I can hear them in the background...

What little critter makes that chirp all night?

Found you again!

I don't mean to disagree w/the treefrog or kling; but there was a lizard on the ceiling of the Seastar one night and the waitress told us it was a "croaking lizard". It sounds like a cricket.

Just going by what she said-first time I saw one.

Respect!

I travel with ear plugs back to Brown's Town. I LOVE the silence of the night: no chirping, barking, grunting, meowing, that's just the yaad pets. Let's not forget the rooster at 5 in the morning.

Frosty, here is a link to the website where I got the CD for Yamangurl. You can listen to a 50 second clip of the tree frogs on the website. It's what the whole entire CD sounds like.

The CD also comes with a screen saver of the tree frogs.

My West Coast location has a 3 hours time difference. I do like the stillness of the night and early morning. Bob Marley song "Three Little Birds", if they were on my window sill early in the morning, let's say they wouldn't be singing sweet songs with any melody for very long.
