On The Wings Of Cicadas
Introduction This is from an idea from a very close Vocal friend, because the cicadas are very loud at the moment. You can expect to see annual cicadas, also known as "dog-day cicadas" or "jarflies," during August in North America, as this is their peak emergence period alongside July.
