Anyone who lives in a southwestern desert can probably tell you what a Cicada is. As soon as it get’s up around 100º you’ll here the mating call of the swarms of large males. Here is a nice print from Supermaggie of the large critters, on a 100% cotton shirt (which apparently runs alittle small). I have provided some interesting info here from wiki on the Cicada sound…I always thought it was their wings…wrong again!
Cicadas are unique in sound-producing insects in that they have a musical drum in their abdomen. The organs that produce sound are ‘tymbales‘ ~ paired membranes that are ribbed and located at the abdominal base. Contracting the internal tymbal muscles yield a pulse of sound as the tymbals buckle inwards. As these muscles relax, the tymbals return to their original position. The interior of the male abdomen is substantially hollow to amplify the resonance of the sound. The song intensity of the louder cicadas acts as an effective bird repellent. Males of many species tend to gather which creates a greater sound intensity and engenders protection from avian predators.
