Cicadas have been around since the beginning of time i remember going outside and they would be so loud it put a ring in my ears, they come and then go away and you might not see them for a few years and they make exellent fishing bait

I had one as a temporary pet, he was cool. Made him a bed and blanket. Let it go the next day.

Amazing we know so much about cicadas but can’t say what a woman is

These AI generated voices are getting old. Wish someone real would narrate videos once again.

I had a tree in my backyard as a kid, and there was one cicada that would often buzz. I use to love that sound, but not the sound of thousands.

Cicadas are nothing to be scared of.Won't harm you at all.

I'm in Missouri and my property is covered with cicadas. I think it's awesome.

We have them every year in Belize during this time.

Great video, but please pay a voice actor to narrate.

one of the best video I've seen on the cicadas, especially the combination of the 13 year and 17 year brood resurrection. One error in the story says that the sound comes from rubbing their wings. Contraction of a tymbal muscle causes it to bend, producing a loud sound. The wings only help directing the sound.

My chickens are loving these Cicadias. My food bill has gone down drastically this month.

[lucanidae]

This will make people think this is the end of time

Presently, I live in Chicago, Illinois. Recently I noticed the Cicadas mating sounds during the night hours. And it was extremely loud. Dates of this mating noise was @Aug 25 to 27.

For those of us who walk with God, we see the gospel story of salvation revealed in all of nature, including the Cicadas.
All glory to our Creator!!

They are unique, the concert they are doing is unique (if you play the guitar they react to metal, you can play together) in my country it was 3 years ago.
