The Dirge and the Spiral

[omorka]

First cicada in full song, 8/25/14 at 8:01 PM. Literally minutes after getting the notice that Cristobal had been upgraded to a Category 1 on my phone. Summer is finally starting to unwind.

I've been hearing cicadas doing the low slow warm-up buzz since mid-July, but this was the first one doing the full-blown mating call. Wonder what took them so long?

All we have are locusts where I live, and they've been going off since July, though not as frequently since it kind of hasn't been that hot this year. :\

They've been slow in the midwest too, let you know more as reports come in.
