4-channel microphone used for the recording of mosquitoes

Caption

4 small microphones are plugged into the Handheld Digital Recorder, and placed on the side of the mosquito cage. Even though recordings were done in a soundproof box, mosquito's sound is really faint, so having a microphone on each side of the cage increases the chances of picking up its sound when it flies close to the microphone.
