I’ve added some sweet Tibicen photos to my 2005 Tibicen gallery, including a 1300px version of this photo (perfect for desktop wallpaper).
Some Tibicen news articles (thanks Roy):
Here’s the buzz on all that buzzing from the Star Tribune.
Drone of cicadas is Minnesota soundtrack from Web India 123.
What a wonderful picture. I am currently visiting the U.S.A and am delighted to hear the cicadas
buzzing. I can’t understand how anyone can complain! I am English but I have lived in France for
16 years. In the south of France we hear a the ‘cigale’ buzzing.This is either a french cicada
or a cousin .These insects look the same but the buzz is slightly different. Thousands of
‘cigales’ buzz/ buzz/buzz/buzz/buzz, then they all stop at the same time for a FEW SECONDS ….
then they start again all at the same time!!! It’s amazing and it’s the song of the cote d’azur.
It’s also the song of summer, so how can anyone complain?
