[Leica] IMG: From the Archives, an Adult Cicada

[Douglas Barry]

Don
Checked them on the web and remember the sound from US coverage on the 
news channels over here. They seem to get worldwide publicity (they must 
have a great agent), and do sound pretty ok, but I wonder whether the 
noise of thousands of them outside the bedroom would pall. I remember 
having a couple of terrible nights' sleep in Borneo due to the 
incredible croaking of hundreds of frogs looking for love, but the jet 
lag mightn't have helped....
