These are definitely Midwestern US cicadas. I grew up listening to them, and watching them when I could. I'm quite fond of these creatures. Admittedly, they don't look like something you'd want to cuddle, but they're amazing and incredibly docile: cute in a very "alien" way. If you squeeze one, very gently, it'll sing, provided its a male. The females don't sing. The sound you hear is the mating call of the male cicada.
I come from South Dakota where cicadas are an integral part of the evenings in, if I recall correctly, June, July and August. I moved to the mountains fifteen years ago and don't miss South Dakota at all except for the cicadas--well, and family of course. This quick video made me feel right at home for 34 seconds. Thanks!
Cicadas are a fascinating and beautiful sound if you are in touch with nature. They only come out like this every 7 to 15 years according to the variety.
I love cicadas. I left my home in Georgia for Alaska and I was thinking how I miss their music.

That's how they sound here, just wish the bugs were not so... scary when they fly into your house.

I'm sad to hear you find them disgusting. Their song is one of the few things I love about summer.

Well there are different cicadas, I think for example they can be found in France and in Japan, so not all cicadas sounds the same.
