During February the cicada come out. I like them, but they do make a noise. We have loads of trees so we have plenty of them around the house. They ‘sing’ 24 hours a day if it’s warm enough. The last few days have been non stop. They sound like this. That was one and we probable have 20 going at once. The females clip their wings if they like the sound of the males. The males cluster together to get a better chance with a female.
Unlike the American periodical cicada, ours come out every year and all 42 types are only found here.
