Cicadas are busy in all their glory.
Making their shrill noises day and night!
They do not sit and wait for me to take a photo!
They keep on moving on and also fly away if you get to near them!
Story: Cicadas
The hot days and balmy nights of summer wouldn’t be the same without the chirruping of cicadas. It’s the males that make all that noise – they are often visible on lamp posts and tree trunks. But they have actually spent most of their lives in the dark, deep underground.
