Cicadas singing – early?
On July 6, 2007 I and several people heard cicadas singing from wooded areas in eastern West Virginia.
Among the singers were Swamp cicada, Tibicen chloromera, and Davis’s Southeastern Dog-day Cicada, Tibicen cannicularis.
This seems early to us. Are you hearing cicadas? Let us know when, where and what species.
Click on the species names above to hear these cicada’s songs.
Thank you,

Lang Elliott and myself Wil Hershberger are pleased that there is a great deal of interest in our book, “The Songs of Insects,” by Houghton-Mifflin Co. We hope to generate a new aesthetic in North America for the appreciation of the singing insects and the choruses that they produce.
