The cicadas are emerging! They crawl from under the ground and shed their shells revealing wings. They climb into the trees and summer's orchestra begins. Cicadas are found around the world, there are over 2500 species! Some of the names folks in the States call them in addition to cicada are: locusts, jar flies, and harvest flies.
