This cicada; let me go I’m dying in 2 minutes This guy; I’m so exciting he did this for you on camera This cicada: *screeches for help* This guy: and that’s how they attract the girl friends
He's all excited it made the matting call for the camera, the bugs excited it's finally getting a little action down there after 5 years. Everyone's happy 👉🐛🔊
Well i just smacked a cicada into another dimension for blocking the entrance of my house. Had i would of known they were harmless, i would've smacked softer.
Imagine if a giant just reached into your house, took you in his hand, rubbed your belly and as you scream for help he's like "He just made a sound! That's so cool"
...i feel that those of us who witnessed Steve Irwin's excitement and love for the animal kingdom, were luckY...and we should leave the same love and excitement for the youth to appreciatE
This bug waited five years for this guy to find him and tickle him. I hope the bug eventually made its way up to the tree, found a lady friend and did the business 😂
I'm surprised it didn't keep screaming while in his hands. Every time I try to pick one to let it out of my house, it *reeeees* at me and gives me a mini heart attack..
"If one lands on you they're not going to hurt you"......look, I dont spend enough time to identify the bug that landed on me, the moment I feel something crawly its getting a high pitched squeal with me frantically trying to get it off me.
They will sing so loud that you have to almost yell to have a normal conversation in Missouri and Iowa. When I start to hear them sing I know summer is officially here. 😁
imagine being sleep for years then waking up NOT EATING , having 3-6 weeks to find a girlfriend and then, before succeeding to get laid, a giant grabs you by the back and harasses your lower parts to make a youtube video
some cicada's have a disease that basically eats the abdomen rendering incapable of mating (if they get "lucky" they will try to mate but kind of hard to do that when your missing your genitals)
I live in Virginia and last summer I was lucky enough to be right in the middle of a massive 17 year cicada hatching. Several of the trees in our yard became chorus trees. Millions of these insects would sing in unison, coordinating their volume becoming louder and then softer at the same time. I’ve never heard anything like it. The whole forest was vibrating and breathing
It’s quite magical how they raise and lower the intensity in unison, like a great big breathing or heart beat process. It reminds me of the flight of some flocks of birds, how the group comes close together, then expands out, back and forth in a rhythm.
You made that sound so beautiful, I almost wish I could be there to experience that. I would be losing my mind though when I remember those are millions of big flying bugs.
Actually I think a lot of cockroaches can bite and while they're not naturally very germ-ridden, they tend to hang out near trash and rotting stuff, picking up some nasty bacteria that you don't want to touch 🤷♀️
The sound of cicadas reminds me of summer nights in my childhood. When they leave their exoskeleton behind, you can hook the front claws on your clothes and sport it as a decoration. We did this on camping trips, pretending to have the most stylish polo shirts around. They also made admirable earrings, but didn't stay on the earlobes so well.
I'm here after trying to find our what these giant red bees are that block my front door. (Giant cicada killers) they killed a cicade and left it at my front door🤦🏽♀️
vivi_ etc Yeah luckily I didn’t freak out too bad and I was able to pull over safely. I used to be allergic when I was a kid so I was really scared that my throat would close up. I ended up with a painful swollen area on my leg where it stung me, I guess I’m not too allergic anymore thankfully, :)
As a Swede being in America for the first time, seeing those empty skeletons everywhere confused me. I was like what in the world is this creepy looking alien???? Never heard of cicadas before but now they are my favorite bug. They’re adorable
This is brilliant. The insects you have over there are amazing. I’m showing my kids this video because you’re excitement would keep their attention. Thanks for sharing.
I remember seeing that bug on my door coming home at night and I was like wtf is that ?! So I threw a leaf at it and it started making that screaming noise and I FLIPPING RAN SCREAMING
Currently walking to my car in Texas, and listening to the sound of them while you’re explaining the details of this insect. Great job! Definitely subscribed.
Stranger Things Fanpage, my 15 year old daughter does this and I find it rather disturbing and a bit cryptic. I love the actual living bug though. They are really cute.
Normally never see em up close. Was going to set up a buddy's radio equipment tonight and I had the windows down on my truck as I was leaving and as I pass my shop one of these guys comes flying through the window and lands on my lap and dear lord I never knew how loud a cicada can be nor did I know how quickly I could vacate a vehicle
I actually got a closeup photo of a young, green cicada resting atop its exoskeleton back in August of 2019. It was on a wooden post attached to my back deck. Very cool!
Nice video, but there are a few things I need to point out: 1) Adult cicadas DO feed--they use their "beak" to pierce twigs and suck juices from the tree. They are xylem feeders (as opposed to phloem feeders, typical of most other insects). 2) The ridges underneath the abdomen are NOT the tymbals--the latter are located under the two "flaps" seen at the base of the abdomen, and their "songs" come from these. The ridges on the abdomen are simply sutures between the abdominal segments; however, some species flex their abdomens while singing, especially those whose songs pulsate. This species is Megacicada dealbatus, which is found through much of the Great Plains region and along the eastern edges of the Rocky Mountains, and its song is like "hdee, hdee, hdee..." with about two to four "hdees" per second. There are other videos on RU-vid in which this call can be heard, such as these all provided by the same person: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-KsBkhSpP5uk.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ZJOBLaucGxc.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-SjXk4ewNA-A.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-soDefPHa1w0.html 3) Although cicadas are harmless, if one is hungry and sitting on your finger, it may "decide" that your finger is a twig, and start poking with its beak. However, they aren't venomous, but I've never allowed one to continue doing this. (One time even a large aphid from a willow tree started doing this!) As one cicada specialist once told me, cicadas have the intelligence of a "box of rocks". 4) There is a species that occurs farther eastward (primarily in tallgrass areas and around the Mississippi River) named Megatibicen pronotalis, and it has a rather similar song; here are some examples (some having been recorded by the same person as those listed above): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-ehiUatT3bEo.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-Ksx2ql0m3cU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7i_1To_W8t0.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gCXG2ATa_2w.html
Thank you for posting a more accurate and complete understanding of the feeding and sounding of cicadas. I wish your post would be moved up to the top, of this cool video, which suffers from near-truths.
Omg I've seen those empty shells so many times in my yard and they freaked me the heck out! Lol. Once I realized it wasn't a live bug, I was a little less freaked. BUT I thought what the heck kind of monster was in there??? I see the cicadas often, as well. They seem to like our pool cover.
When i was a kid at elementary school in Australia we used to collect and trade them with each other. We'd keep them in a shoe box. After scholl we would go all around neighborhood searching for them. Love them!
I always thought they were cute in their own little way. I'm just like everyone else where if something lands on me or randomly appears in my house I get scared. But seeing nature where it is intended to be is nice. There is beauty in all things if you take a moment to really look.
