Today I have a 3 fer for y'all all in one!!

 Dear Auntie HiC, 

 Do you have cicadas where you live?
Our woods in north Georgia are full of emerging cicadas.




While some might find the “buzzing” eerie, deafening, or even annoying, I purr-sonally consider the cicada sound purr-fectly  relaxing, calming & soothing. 


Join me for a nap! 





Lovingly 
Cali,

Auntie HiC 
wrote a bit of info in Acrostic poem using the letters of Cicadas 

Curiosity

Incredible insects

Cali thanks for the great informative post

Auntie HiC likes their red eyes

Did you know they've been in literature since Homer's Iliad

Avast majority are active during the day as adults with some calling at dawn or dusk. Only a rare few species are known to be nocturnal

Dearest Niece Cali you do have a sleeping beauty buzzz 
 As hot as it is above ground, the are gonna be shocked when they leave their cool homes under the earth,
What an orchestra they have too. 
Lovingly Auntie HiC

    I miss the sound of cicadas from OZ. Or even the crickets. Nothing like that in the UK. A fun informative post! YAM xx

  4. I think we have cicadas here in MN but they are not a big deal. They look ugly. We would not even know what their sound is. Mainly we hear frogs by ponds.

  5. Dear Cali, it's a little too soon up north here for our cicadas to be awake yet. We usually get them towards the end of July and then it's 6 weeks till Frost you know. The slower they come out the longer we can have warm weather.

  7. I don't know if we have cicadas around her or not. We may but I have never seen one.
    Loved that video. I was not expecting your eyes to open at the end.

  8. Love your Acrostic poems. We have just the right amount of cicada chorus just in time for wine time on the lanai. I do remember we had a periodical emergence of some kind on The Tiny Ten and they creeped me out even though I find them fascinating.

  9. Cali, that was some serious snoozing!

    Cicadas make me shudder to look at them, but I don't mind their buzzing. Usually they come out in August here, July if it's been really hot.
