I was talking to a guy yesterday and asked him - He is a guy that lives in the area - what was in the trees making a HUGE racket.
"Cicadas", he told me!

These things are the noisiest things on the planet.
They stick up in the trees and make the loudest sound. It's starts off low and builds up for about 15-20 seconds then stops.
I laughed because I saw a news blurb about a man who was arrested for calling the police because the insects were making way too much noise near his home!![]()
I hate those darn things! I get to listen to them most of the day here when I go outside - they are in full bloom now! Nasty, creepy looking monsters, and they leave their cocoons all over the place.
I had a little green tree toad suctioned to the dining room window last night - outside of course. And last night was somewhat cooler too, and the lightening bugs were putting on quite a show. A couple even hitched a ride on me and got in the house!![]()

Awwww...you don't like the cicadas? I can't say that they have ever bothered me. It's just a song of the summer.![]()
I suspected those were your noisemakers, Richard! But at least now you have your answer! And Pomtzu, I am so completely jealous you had a tree frog on your window! So cool!
