Cicadas

[jedishampoo]

Holy Frijoles! The cicadas are amazingly loud tonight! They have been really loud for the last few days. I wonder if it's one of those 8-year or 12-year cicada thingums? Anyway, when you add in the grasshoppers and crickets, my neighborhood is louder right now than it ever is during the day. :)

Does anyone know how to record their sounds on an iPhone, by the way, and upload it?

They seem to be loud everywhere this year. Don't they go in cycles or something? Maybe this is one of their big years... We can't have our windows open at night because not only is it still too darn warm, but the smoke from the wildfires is still really nasty, especially at night.

The voice memo application does that. When you sync to iTunes, they are synced too.

In Osaka they were really loud, (in my 1st 4 days) but now theyre not loud anymore!

U can also record sounds by making a video :) thats how i did it :) - sorry for the 2 posts.

There was a massive cicada on my patio the other night. When I opened the patio door it served as a partition between it and me, so I studied it very closely. HIs expression seemed kind of cute and human, so I decided to live and let live and see how it went. After I'd been reading for a bit, he started doing some sort of kamakazi flying pattern and twice nearly ended up in my hair. The cease fire ended. I felt kind of bad for him afterward though. And his corpse was gone the next night. If birds eat raid marinated bugs, will they get sick?
