Re: Screaming trees
Nah. I got the live show right outside my window. No need to go listening to the bloody things on the web as well.
But I wouldn't want you to miss out:
To get the full effect you need to play this on a loop for about 8 hours solid, daily. No cheating.
By about midday you'll be scratching your eyeballs out for the sheer fun of it.

Hi keith,
You should read Matt's link, because the more you know about these bugs, the scarier they become!
Did you know that they are watching you? And, they sing louder when you are nearby? They also pee (called honey dew), so if you thought it was raining...
My vote: Cicadas = si KAY das. That's in english.
In spanish, would it be una cigarra, or una chicharra?
It's confusing. Apparently, cicadas are not crickets, locusts, or grasshoppers. However, one dictionary calls them "tree crickets". There are cicadas called dog-day cicadas, or harvest flies, because they are out and about during the months of July & August (in North America, dunno about Spain.) Perhaps these are cousins, and will fly away after August?
Buenas noches,
Carol
