  Thanks! I got really luck with this one last year. It allowed for a few shots before flying away :D Posted 7 years ago

I love the cicada sounds in the summer. Here in Belgium we don't have or at least they are not common. In Spain yes, and also I have heard them in my trips to the tropical regions. i also remember them from the East coast in US. Cicada sound = warm summer for me :-) Posted 7 years ago

  To me, the sound is like a lullaby. Add frog and cricket songs to the mix, and I am one happy girl!
  
  And, yes, cicada songs often coincide with the hottest parts of summer! Posted 7 years ago
