    Maybe I mentioned this already, I can't recall, but some few weeks back I was sitting outside with some friends and a beetle started running across the sidewalk. On a impulse, I yelled, "Stop!" and it did!

    So.. I put my finger down about eye level to it and said, "Come here" and waggled my finger... my friends said, "You're an idiot!" but do you know that thing immediately turned and came over to my finger! (It was about 3 feet away)

    It actually stood on it's hind legs and investigated my finger before it turned and went back to it's business. I told it to stop and it did again and started to come back but I lost interest and it walked away.

    Well, for some reason I wasn't surprised by that as I've always had a weird thing with animals but tonight the same two people were out there again and a beetle ran across, again about 3-4 feet away, and I called it over and repeated the exact thing I had done before!

    Next time I'm going to get it on video so I can show you all!!

    That is a neat trick :) Not many people can communicate with insects.

    Maybe your voice is at the right beetle frequency lol If this does work again on video you can go viral with that.
