Cicadas

Cicadas are singing.

We captured cicadas with a net.

"Here ... the sound of the cicadas is different." "Oh my, I'm impressed you noticed. You've got a good sense of pitch!"

I hear cicadas almost every day.

Cicadas aren't harmful to humans.

Cicadas only emerge after a prime number of years.

The shrill song of the cicadas produces an unpleasant acoustic sensation.

The cicadas are loudest at the end of summer.

In a matter of days, billions of cicadas will emerge from the ground in at least 15 U.S. states from the Midwest to the East Coast, insect specialists say.

Cicadas are 3-centimeter, winged insects that buzz loudly while seeking a mate.
