13 years I've Waited

​A part of my eco-resonances, this video was originally 15 minutes long.  It was done when I first arrived, however a month later, I can really only handle a minute of editing it....they are so loud!  It's almost excruciating, and definately deafening.  Tip to getting them out of your house so you don't lose your hearing: Turn on the porchlight and turn all of the house lights off, they will go.  But before you do make sure you check them out, they are quite lovely actually, their wings are copper in the light.  Thier life cycles are quite interesting actually, no wonder they make some noise.
From Wiki:  "Most cicadas are cryptic, singing at night to avoid predators. The periodic cicadas spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, emerging only after 13 or 17 years, which may reduce losses by starving their predators and eventually emerging in huge numbers that overwhelm and satiate any remaining predators. "  13-17 years! in the ground!  make some noise folks!
