I love cicadas! I don't even know what they look like (well, I didn't until I saw this story), but I love them because they remind me of summer in southern France ~ one particular summer. The trees were filled with them that year, and their dry, continuous trill surrounded us all through the hot days and nights (video): http://channel.nationalgeographic.com/wild/videos/cicada-love-song/
I hope everyone on the East Coast enjoys their sound as much as I do, because, after their 17-year hiatus, they're about to emerge this spring. ETA: May: http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2013/03/130329-cicadas-coming-sky-locust-swarm-animal-science/
