Cicada August 09 2006
I have decided to write a post about Cicada (sick-eh-dah) which are bugs that produce an interesting sound. Most people in Southern Ontario are probably quite familiar with this sound that can be heard on a hot summer day. Its sort of a droning buzzing noise, kind of like crickets. The difference with this sound is it seems they are all in on it. Once one starts they all start and the noise gets louder and louder and eventually tapers off.
Anyway… these bugs are called Cicada. Most people confuse this noise with Grasshoppers or Locusts.
