I do not know of this information, but would suggest looking at the bee

Some examples I found  are:
AUTHOR: Yes'kov, Y. K. (Res. Inst. Apic., Rybnoye (Ryazan Region), U.S.S.R.)
ARTICLE TITLE: Sound Apparatus Of The Bee Apis mellifera L.
JOURNAL TITLE: Biophysics 14(1):166-176, Figs. Refs
YEAR OF PUBLICATION: 1969
NOTES: Translation From Russian In: Biofizika 14(1):158-166, 1969. 'In The
Work We Investigated The Mechanism Of Emission
Of Sounds By Bees Based On The Vibration Of The Thorax Effected By The
Indirect Action Of Wing Muscles. These Sounds
Are Amplified Through The Vibration Of The Wings. The Presence In The Sound
Of Bees Of Maximum Intensity At
Frequencies Of 400-500 C/S Is To Be Explained By The Fact That The
Longitudinal Muscles Vibrate The Thorax At This
Frequency. The Pulsating Sounds Emitted By Dancing Bees Are Produced
Chiefly Under The Action Of The Same Muscles.
The Wing Plates Perform Two Functions In The Production Of Sounds: A) Emit
The Sounds As Any Vibrating Plate; The
Fundamental Frequency Of These Sounds Is Determined By The Frequency Of The
Sweeps By The Wings; And B) Are
Diffusers Amplifying The Vibration Of The Thorax.'
