Sounds of The Wild, Backyard Edition

     The video below is 109 seconds of the hundreds of thousands (millions?) of cicades that have made the trees in the yard their home this Summer.
     The other evening, the wall of sound was so loud I grabbed my cell to record it. Unfortuately I couldn't get that audio file to convert to this site, so this morning, when they started up again, I grabbed the Cannon.
     Are they the every-seventeen year variety? Or the dog-day cicades that come out annually? I don't know, but they are much louder than I remember in Summers past. 
 I hope those of you would live in large cities, away from the large populations of these loud insects, may enjoy hearing it! Turn up your volume!
