cicada

ch. 11

pg 228

"The cicadas were going crazy, filling the air with their strange brand of singing."
I think cicadas are large insects that make noises.

  1. Remember 5 years ago, when the "17-year cicadas" descended on Maryland? They basically climb out of the ground, mate, lay eggs in trees and die, all within a period of weeks. They don't eat anything (they don't even have mouths) but they make a lot of noise. If you missed them, you'll have to wait until 2021 for the next Cicada Party . . .
