I love hearing the sound of the cicadas. I've read the stories about
how there's gonna be a bumper crop of millions of cicadas waking up
and then I listened to them and feel like I'm participating in that
news story.
I love how they sound! I love the constant ululating of the pitch that
they are at - there's nothing else like it. I could record it but it
just wouldn't be the same because it's so surrounding when you're
sitting in the yard and just listening to it. I remember a few years
ago my wife and I were sitting in the backyard having a fire and we
could hear the cicadas in the evening as the sun was setting. The
sound came in waves from across the field and then closer by in the
field and then in the trees that were to our left and above us and
then off to our right and it was just like a tidal wave of their
sound. It was amazing and huge and so big that it was just weird to
think about.
Bugs are funny like that because they're everywhere and they're in the
middle of everything, but we really don't give them much credit. But
they're amazing.
