Very cool. Thanks! :-)


You know, they must have evolved in a very noisy period to make such a
racket. Or maybe just really happy for a couple of weeks of mating after
years underground sucking on roots. I spent too much time last night
exploring the Cicada Mania website...... It's so weird that the various
"tribes" can't interact or interbreed, even within the same species.
