Summer noises

It certainly has been sunny days.... and the cicada's have been going crazy.

They are usually up high in the trees, or whatever, and we can't see them. (Well, I can't anyway.)

But yesterday we struck it lucky. This cicada was singing it's little heart out on the fence by playgroup. We were able to get close enough to have a really good look, and I got this photo.

I suppose there's a library book which would answer our questions (my questions...) about cicadas....
