Our Alarm Clock


These bugs are called Cicada.. The small one is a young un, and the larger one a fully grown adult.

Cicadas live underground as grubs for most of their lives, sometimes up to 17 years. They feed on root juice and have strong front legs for digging. Then one day they burrow back up, grow wings and live for a couple days making a huge racket (like a cricket, but louder!).
