Cicada


This insect was on our pergola making LOTS of noise. Daddy didn't believe us when we told him that it was the loudest insect we'd ever seen/heard before. Mommy took a picture so we could try to figure out what it is. Thanks Joe for helping us idenitfy it. It is a Cicado. I guess we were blessed to have seen it as they only live 30-40 days and they only hatch about every 17 years! Also, they are the loudest insect there is. You can hear it up to a half a mile away.
