Cicadas live in temperate to tropical climates where they are among the most widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and remarkable acoustic talents.

This video shows how loud Cicadas can get in Japan. The video starts out with some very loud ringing sounds which later quiet down because the Cicadas are sensing someone in the area. The Cicadas usually reside high up in the trees and are visibly difficult to spot.

When you something approaches their area of comfort, they begin to quiet down. Cicadas usually arrive in late July and last all through August, dying off in early September. They can be very annoying if you focus on them. When ignored, they are generally go unnoticed despite the noise. This video was shot using a Creative Vado HD. http://jimatwood.net
