Any German Cicada Fans?

Filed under: Cicada Mania — Dan @ 5:22 am

Any cicada fans who speak German, or are in Germany?

Sonja Beeker of the German radio program Neonlicht interviewed me last week. You can download the mp3 of the video from this page. It was my favorite interview of the season, believe it or not.

Here is a description:

Sie sind so klein. Aber sie machen einen ohrenbetÃ¤ubenden LÃ¤rm. Schon eine einzige Zikade reicht, um einem den Schlaf fÃ¼r die Nacht zu rauben. Was aber, wenn Milliarden von Zikaden nach 17-jÃ¤hriger Reifezeit schlÃ¼pfen und Ã¼ber die USA herfallen? Dann wird’s laut. Ein bisschen eklig. Vielleicht aber auch lecker. Wie man’s nimmt. Unsere Reporterin hat ein paar OstkÃ¼stenbewohner besucht, die sich auf die Plage vorbereiten.

So what is the deal with Germans & cicadas? I was likewise interviewed by the German radio station ARD. They came to Staten Island and did an audio interview in Clove Lakes Park.

  I guess they’re just interested in them. I’m kind of surprised that I’ve never been approached by someone from France. Only once from Japan.
