The amazing reason cicadas are SO LOUD

[jordanscott]

Male cicadas are so loud that they have an adaptation to disengage their own tympanic membranes (bug ears) because their cry is so loud that they would otherwise deafen themselves

[SteviiLove]

I didn't know cicadas were local to me until I moved 30 minutes away.
I feel like I'm a main character of an anime movie every time I hear them now 😂

[ItsToughToBeARabbitOwnerOf]

Their loud screeching crie's sometime's make's my body relaxed-

[evangeloevoxi]

There is no reason for cicadas to be as loud as they are. We have MILLIONS of cicada shells in our yard and woods, and hundreds of thousands of cicadas flying around here and it's deafening if I go near the woods 😭 my poor head is always hurting lol. I'm glad my dog has been helping by hunting them but even she's getting tired of them lmao

Wrong they don't rub their back legs together, they have specialty adapted little scrapers that actually make the noise.

In my back yard right now. They sound like rattlers. Its ANNOYING. One flew down my husbands front shirt yesterday and man he stripped down so quickly to his waist. I cried laughing seein it on the ring cam

Japan is crawling with these.

Shout-out to Shinguri Death Frenzy.

They so loud that you can tell it's them

Crickets produce the chirping sound by rubbing part of the front wing against part of the back. Not with their legs.
Edit: My bad it's actually just both of the front wings

If you get really close to a tree with male cicadas
Me: they will jump on you

[B-DogVRoffical]

They are the nostalgic hot summer sun glare

[TheSquirrelLounge]

There’s one outside my window. I’m losing my mind.

[DailyDoseGamingLife]

There is like a whole nest of them right beside my front door they sound annoying at night

[AluxandyrBills]

And that’s why they sometimes sound like a sputtering plane about to crash.

Fun fact:

Cicadas is a place in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia.

[Im_A_Glass_of_Milk]

When I was in nature I’ve always wanted to know what that sound was

[thebabbler]

Crickets don't rub their legs on their wings to produce sound: They rub their wings together. These A.I. Channels stay dumb.

[pedrotiosin]

I'm hearing Cicada bugs right now feel good

[Ppvfe]

I always live near these and i just wanna grab one
