In the comments for a previous post, Claire asked what the cicadas sound like. So this morning I wandered by a tree to record it for you.

Click for Cicadas!

    It’s just Quicktime. Right-click to download if you can’t get it to work through the browser.

    Had already downloaded but not yet found the right file to open it. Don’t know why Quicktime wouldn’t kick in. Just did so - awesome!

    I still can’t get it to play :(
    Are they anything like the cicadas that we have hear? The ones that make a hot day feel ten degrees hotter with their sound?

    Kristi, I ended up downloading it, choosing an application to run it, and chose VLC. Apparently it’s on my computer and nothing else worked. The cicadas were lots louder than I expected!

    If you don’t want to go all the way to Japan to hear the cicadas, just come on up to Illinois!! :)

    I could hear the QT with no problem. Thanks for the recording! It’s amazing how those little critters get in synch! We had them in Dallas, around Gram and PaPa’s house, growing up. Once I got several of their husks and placed them around on a big candle on the kitchen table. I don’t remember Gram being amused, but she might have been laughing on the inside.
