Dog-day Cicada (Neotibicen canicularis)

At home

The sound of calling cicadas is always associated with summer heat, those dog-days of summer (hence their common name). This one arrived at the lights when looking for moths and is the first I've seen this summer, but I'm still waiting to hear one in this not very hot summer.

Not expecting much singing this month if our weather forecasters are correct.

Ours started singing about two weeks ago. I like the sound, reminds me of childhood - carefree summer evenings. V
