Noisy little Buggers! Cicada dry flies.

[CharmyCharms101]

Ahh so relaxing

[CanYouFeelTheRythym]

here in North America, we`ve become so accustomed to hearing these all our lives we barely notice anymore. its amazing.

[Microglia1]

I like how only male firelfies can fly and only male cicadas can sing...so the males have all these great abilities which nature endowed us just so we have to compete/fight each other for the female's attention. I wish to be born female in my next life...I really don't care for competition.

[Microglia1]

I like your videos...it seems to bring out the better part of people. Nature is so beautiful.

[nukelearshit]

CICADAS ARE ANNOYING WHEN UR TRYING TO RELAX OUTSIDE AND THEY THINK'HEY THIS DUDE IS HAVEING A GOOD TIME LETS GO RUIN IT!'

[prospekt]

Did you have to stick his wings down to keep him from flying off during handling? These guys are really skittish in Southern Ontario.

[Marmalade000000]

Cicadas let me know the summer's here

[dayham09]

it's cool to see the membrane while *singing*

[Lucarioman200]

My Labrador eats these things without chewing O_O

[tromdo]

I'm 38 years old and all these years I thought that noise was electrical wires!!!! Fuck me, it's a bug!!!!!!!

[nursegeek]

When I little I was told they were the heat bugs. It made the sounds when it was hot outside. It is the sounds of summer. My favorite season.

[minimoongurll]

I hate bugs .. I wish they would go away .. just like birds and reptiles .. I wish alot of things, but I know mother nature needs all her babies to play nice.

Nonetheless, these things bug the hell out of me when I get into bed after the night shift and all I hear is them .. drives me insane!

[mzh3000]

iv seen one on a small tree, I aproched it and it flew to the next tree, then it got noisy.

[Hero5352]

It's funny when a Cicada flies around then hits an obstruction, then buzzes around on the floor trying to get it's bearings. I always help 'em out so that they don't get squished :D

[lilbabydevil94]

So THATS what I'm Hearing!

[MrMjkky]

if you live in south carolina.. what border?

[pokeloveracjnjonas]

@MrMjkky I don't live on the border. ._. There is plenty of inland space.

[pokeloveracjnjonas]

I'm curious, I live in South Carolina where we have "13-year cicadas" This is the year we're supposed to hear them. But what's the similar noise I hear every other summer?

[theshoeminator]

Thanks for uploading such a great video. You did a great job at capturing the sound of them in the trees! It seems as though the buzzing is year-round down here in Florida, lol.

[mattysdaddy01]

i find these little dead all over the place

[westport17782010]

at 2:13

They look like the "GALAGA" (video game) alien space ships.

[schonchris]

I feel like blowing my brains all over my carpet and desk after stumbling upon this video.

[jarred45610]

my town gets hot and i wonder what that very loud noise is

[wtftastic]

Out of curiosity, what level science/ grade do you teach?

[Jalenators]

Lol one of these fell on my friends head when we were swimming in the pool

[xalphaxinfidelx]

Actually this video was kind of adorable along with being interesting. I've been studying this little suckers for a class and they're definitely neat little buggers.

Gotta say the caption commentary was great.

[scroungermattface]

what do they taste like?

[cooldude3001]

lol i can hear these fuckers in my house sometimes

[nickthestick26]

I keep laughing at you poking at it with the forceps. You can touch them, you know, as long as you hold it by the sides and bind the wings; touching the thorax or pronotum does make them sick. :)

[ShadowSword32]

I guess Japan is known for its wide variety of sounding cicadas. We have ones that stay at a resonance, and some that quiet down a lot.

[MAmoviesRS]

i could so pwn it with g18's.

[marvintheboon]

My dog has been eating them since he was 6 weeks old. He is only 2 now, but being born on the 4th of july, he has had three seasons under his belt now. He is bored with them this year already, I think there were just too many, its not a novelty anymore. He would put them in his mouth an let them buzz for a while. Eventually, he would crunch them. He doesn't like the dead ones, except ehen they've been reconstituted in the baby pool, then he still spits out the wings.

[drollerd96]

in france, you hear it all the summer, spring and autumn, i find it awesome, i like going on vacation there beacause of the cicadas

[mrmp34]

ugly mofo. deff wouldn't touch it :D

[kjhuhtala1]

My daughter loves your videos (she's 2). We will definitely keep watching your stuff! By the way, the 2nd bird you zoom in on is (I think) a mourning dove, not a turtle dove. Great videos, though! Wonderful narration and information!

[jordancs1999]

i remember when i was eight i think.. and me and my friends would love to look on trees for the shells!

[Nbouris]

why do some words come up in a different color.

[birdmanbl]

DUDE MACRO MANIA TEACHER

[anoyingdedkid]

I hear that noise every summer at night and it just gets anoying

[backwoodsgps]

life is awesome

if you know how to appreciate it

thanks, very much!!!!!

[Siraarongirl2]

I keep mine close to my heart, literally

[Malfunction0982]

Man Cicadas those things are very old. 1992 imagine. Some of those cidadas were born around the same time as some kids. lol

[xlartanislx]

aww theyre so much cuter now i know they dont bite :) ill stop stomping on them now :)

[DROPD5150]

we used to catch them and tie sewing thread to their legs and fly them around FUN TIMES!!!

[21Laser]

About every 17 years in Cincinnati we get to "enjoy" the singing. But there are different colonies that emerge in different years.

Different areas of town have singing while others are silent until theirs emerge too. When the main colony comes out in force, it is crazy loud. At least the birds get a good feast on the cicadas while it lasts.

I used to deliver pizza for Snappy Tomato Pizza years ago. They used to make us sing "Snappy Cicada Pizza" on every delivery. God how I hated that!

[tjcoyote59]

Where are you located? This is the only video of them on you tube that sounds like the ones we have here in Sheffield Lake Ohio. I've heard that there are plenty of different varieties.

[mhatsko]

when I was little we used to call them heat bugs cause we'de hear them during the summer when it's really hot out. Hearing them again this past summer. I haven't heard them in a long time.

[dioornodio]

That was a very informative video dude, i really appreciate the post,

and may i say, your timing is perfect.

i hope you get what i mean.

:59 and on for a little bit, great timing

[memorial19]

nightflyer ill trade you my hot sun for you cold its too hot here in texas...

i hate the nose from those cicadas..i hear them everyday at work..

[Tiger313NL]

We don't have cicadas here, but there's still frogs/toads and crickets that make a ruckus lol

[frogvillage]

that's..one group asked the other group if they want to have a sex. Then, the other group responds "no i blah blah..or yes/ blah blah.." That's what it is. Life is about having a sex

[JudiG]

It's funny. I'm sitting in my home office listening to the NOISE of the cicadas across from my building. There is a lake and woods just across the lot. Been hearing it all week and it didn't occur to me until tonight that they were probably cicadas. A trip to YouTube confirmed it. :D

[NightFlyyer]

Haha. Great. I cant wait to hear them again, cause that means the snow and cold will be gone. It is 13 degrees right now and fairly nice,but.....not summer.

Thanks for taking my head to your place.

[xboredofbordemx]

lol i learned this in science class a grasshopper male must have its head ripped of to reproduce

[shrumpkin]

i love cicadas! they are so cool. their singing makes me smile all the time.

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks and keep smiling.

[crump3t5]

I always wondered were those sounds were coming from 0.o I think that they look pretty cool.

[13WARBIRD13]

at the golf course we use the as thernometer loder they get the hotter ;)

[untide]

I used to be afraid of the noise they made when I was little.

[NightFlyyer]

Hopefully (and with the help of this video), you now can see they are pretty harmless.

[helicopterkid1996]

They remind me of crickets..they are soo loud and annoyin. I wish it came in 2.4 ghz

[fishin25530]

its kinda cool but if you live in the country they are so annoying and loud they will drive you nuts and not to mention kill your trees they were early this time wonder why i know usually you shouldnt see them but just every 7 or 13 years

[NightFlyyer]

They are noisy, but do not kill the trees at all, and therefore not classified as pests. There are over 500 different varieties, so a new variety can show up one year and never show up for 12 more, so each year we have them, just different varieties.

[fspilot92]

I used to see them more but this summer I havnt yet.

[daapoptart]

get me one of those put it in a package and send it to utah north ogden post office k

[wlollpop]

wow they're kind of slow

[BR4DL3YY]

yr thanks i got it of net thanks

[BR4DL3YY]

do you use for that?

[BR4DL3YY]

what do you use to edit your videos?

and what format do you apply to your videos?

and what

[NightFlyyer]

I use Magix Movie Edit Pro most of the time, or Pinnacle Studio 11. I always make them 640x480 WMV format.

[BR4DL3YY]

ok thanks can you download it of the internet or do you need the disc to install the programes?

[NightFlyyer]

I thinks you can download it. I got the disc and did it that way. I think both ways can be done.

[Dia4life]

Wow never seen one of those before but only heard of them, pretty interesting.

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks.

[GreenAce92]

lol its like a discovery channel video lol

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks...I will take that as a compliment.

[lordvader139]

I would blast one of the buggers out of the air to teach a lesson to the rest of them. Then I might get some peace and quiet

[NightFlyyer]

It won't work, I tried. LOL.

[chaingang90]

dude, you think this is noisy? when i was a kid and visited my relatives in the rural areas in the philipines, my little cousin, brought in a whole platic bag full of them into the house!!!! quite a few ran free!! man, that was one hell of an experience

[NightFlyyer]

Hahah.. Yep, I'll bet in the house it was amazing. I couldn't catch any that would make the noise. Guess they were all females I got!? Thanks.

[thetvhead]

Nice video, it captures them well. I always enjoy hearing the Cicada singing.

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly. Glad you enjoyed it.

[NightFlyyer]

They are eaten by many, I have heard.

[joehandsome99]

Cool video, and it shows off the beautiful yard. You know when you start talking in the video, you remind me of Carl Sagan and how he did some of his documentaries. Thanks for sharing Dave. 5 stars.

[NightFlyyer]

Haha. Thanks very much Eric. I appreciate that. Well, Carl's in space, and sometimes, I am too.

[rifted]

Nice got to love wild live its just so an amazing great creatures, there use to be a lot of crickets, birds and wild life were I live, now with the sudden growth rate the wild life went pretty down a shame really! I miss all this day and night natural surroundings sounds, but thanks for sharing brings great memories, good thing there still places that one can go and stay to enjoy all this wonder. Thanks again! Great video! Nice to see the cocoon breaks out!!! AWESOME!!!

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks very much. I am glad you enjoyed it.

[papaseh]

i hate those things, we get them alot in here in texas, whenever i find one i KILL IT!!! :)

[NightFlyyer]

They wont hurt you, good for the environment, and cant bite. Poor little things.

[startazz]

Very interesting indeed mate,they sound like some thing out of a sci-fi movie lol,so do they just make that sound in daylight or at nighttime too?we also have a bird box in our garden which the little blue tits look in all the time for bugs i think but never nest in it,as i think it might be abit to big for them,my step son made it at college and i was so proud of him,5*

[NightFlyyer]

Thanks kindly. Yep they sing pretty much all day, and finally quiet up when it gets dark.

[EyeLouis]

Very very intresting. The birdhouse is really cool. 5*

[nibbler125]

i rember when i caught one and didnt know what it was and it made that sound and i screamed like a little girl

[NightFlyyer]

Ha ha. I that would have scared me too.

[computerwiz1995]

i have these everywhere where i live. (ohio)

[NightFlyyer]

Haha. Welcom Ohio. I had relatives in Warren.

Your right too.... all Upper Midwest and Eastern areas have them in our part of the world. Noisy, eh?

[gurvir44]
