What's that noise??

Cicadas!

On my first day in Lawrence in August, all of a sudden we could hear a loud "buzzing" starting around 6-7 pm, and I heard it every evening until it became cooler in September. It took me a while to know where that noise was coming from and learned that it was the cicadas... a pretty strange looking creature. Wiki says they also exist in Alsace, but I had never heard that sound there. When one would land on my balcony, it was hard to leave the window open as they were so loud!
