The Screaming 17 Year Cicada

This was a cicada which has recently swarmed the area. This little bug was particularly "talkative" whenever it was touched so I recorded this because I thought it was funny. The 17 year cicada (Magicicada septendecim) hatches up from the ground after 17 years, swarms the area for a few short weeks to mate and then dies.

Midas called, he wants his golden cicada back.

Woah I didn’t know 17 year cicadas were that small, annual cicadas seem to be quite bigger

[_Onx_]

I would scream too if someone grabbed me by my wings >:(

I used to go to the park to catch those there very hard and sturdy but also noisy

[Your_TirelessTryhard_]

Why they scream: Cicadas have very liw intelligence and cant tell pretetors from land. They make this sound sometimes in a way of confusion like "Tf this tree grabbin me for?" But cuz they don't know English they cant really say that

Oh no, don't grab them by their wings :(
