Please tell me that it was already dead and you didn't actually tape a live cicada to a table and blast music right next to it.

Don't you dare hurt those flying maracas!!!

Cicadas are a wonderful sound of summer. I love it. Let him go.

Okaaaay, there's some mental illness involved to go through the process of setting up this photo.

Nah, you can find dead ones on the ground all the time. Doubt this one is alive.

I love the sound they make....it's a sign of summer. Me thinks you need to move to Iceland if it "bugs" you so much.
AFelineMassofEyes
Nah, just west of the Rockies. Very quiet cicadas here, if you can even find them.
I can't imagine the frustration that builds up with something so tame but ubiquitous. The big ain't the one with the problem - let him go.

That's my thought. This is fucked up, 3k other little serial killers in training +1ed it too.

No proof, but the bug likely was already dead. So it is just a morbid joke, nothing psychotic.
No proof that it's not dead. They're not difficult to subdue they're harmless. I hope it's dead!
Presumption of innocence

Oh come on...they are just trying to get laid.

Cazador's are mutated tarantula hawks. Cicadas are just harmless screaming bugs.

Where I grew up I was used to it after 20-something years. When a friend came to visit and asked why nature was screaming I was confused.
yes. responsible for loud buzzing sounds in some regions for those that might not know.
thegelatoking
Makes me want to burn every tree down that I come across.
zozoOpFlyer
Jesus Christ i hated those growing up. I could never sleep due to those ducking bugs.
geiokami
Who doesn't know what they sound like? Things are so loud every person on earth can hear them
buttholette
I grew up in the high Utah/Idaho desert. Cicadas don't live there. (I didn't live around them till about two years ago)
Mattallica
Californian here. Lived in Midwest for 5 years. Exaggerate much?
This poor person is suffering from hearing loss due to being too close to the cicadas.
animatronicvelcrorat
Illinoisian here, no... Good god not an exaggeration
Tredecim

ElbowDeepInAHeadlessHorseman
They're loud, but I always thought it was a calming summer sound. They make me happy :p
mmclinden
Me too! I love to sleep with the windows open so I can hear all the summer noises.
Cheomesh
Same.Though I've cycled through a boom period and let me tell you those things SUCK to run into.

Same here. Some evenings when I go to bed early for work the next day. They sing/scream me to sleep. Almost peaceful like
DrJoint420
Ulthirm
It's thousands of these bugs yelling "HAVE SEX WITH ME"
ScreamedTheStableBoy
I always heard "get away frOM MY TREEEEEEEEEEEEE"
"The trees are screaming" is how I've heard it described.
UpvoteFairy3001
I like to describe it as "rrrrrrrEEEEEEEEEErrrrrrrEEEEEEEEEErrrrrrEEEEEEEEEEEEE" because that's how they sound here
The502nd
Here in Texas the trees love to scream in the summer, it's how we tell that summer is here.
HermanManly
Accurate. Went to italy for a week, didn't sleep properly a single night. I'm now convinced they're the reason Italians are known to be loud
thisusernameispredictable
Accurate.
I posted a video of the sound I remember from my childhood. Seems it varies some by location.
Can confirm, the sounds do vary a bit
Ewanator
I've heard that some animals have different noises based on location, like an accent or something. Bugs could be the same.
AttackOfTheSpaceBat
Definitely louder depending on where you are and how many there are
FungusForge
For example: its pretty loud when one is on your front door.
bittybubba
I know some people hate it, but having grown up in Texas, it's quite relaxing for me
AbusedPickle
Do you live next to a bunch of trees? It's fine from a distance when it's just a drone. But when five or six are just outside you window...
Yea we had two big oaks in our front yard, and they would attach to the house as well. Still like the sound
kissmyassets
I remember the trees yelling at me. I thought they were cool and would crush their shell they left behind and make a wish. Tradition.
IHopeYouFindIt
Without context your post is terrifying.
TrashPanda17
Same, doesn't bother me at all. I think they're cool little creatures
ElbowDeepInACat
And they taste great
DobbyLivesHere
You must not live anywhere near Augusta GA...
CommentHijacker
I live in Douglasville GA and it's loud af at night
They get rowdy in Japan too.
MayorMcWeed
Do they even have ears?
I sure hope so, otherwise the noise pollution that is their mating call is just there to annoy people
lwieise87
Males do the mating call and can actually disable their tympanum (analogous to the human ear) during the mating call.
Oh so THAT'S how they tolerate it
