RE: Song'0 The South

Nice! It wasn't until I did this article I learned there's more than 3,000 specie of cicada. There's five in this part of the US alone but that periodical cicada is indigenous to this area only. Interesting.

Do the cicadas in Venezuela sound like those little hand drums things too? They don't just resemble drums, they mimic the things, identical.

Another fun fact is they won't make a sound before 7am. The sun's out at 6 but not them. I'm paying attention now, they're silent until 7 beginning with just a few beating on the drums—alarm clock. And by 7:30 it's a percussion fest out there.
