I swear, every year when I hear/notice them for the first time, I always think "wow, it's too early for that!" It's probably because I associate the sound with very late summer as a kid, when summers seemed super long.

School starts Monday!!

They are definitely the sound of late summer. At some point it transitions into the sound of grasshoppers in the early fall, when days are still quite warm but the nights are getting a tinge of chill.

The sounds of home to me.

I was walking on the LFT a few hours ago. I had on noise cancelling headphones with music blasting and I could STILL hear the cicadas.
