The cicada's this year are being TOO LOUD!!🔊 I wish they'd chill tf out for a minute or five! But wait, there is a reason...they're mating and competing with a cousin species of cicada. Check out how loud they are, especially when I get up close to one doing his mating call! Thanks for watching! I hope your day can be at least half as amazing as you all are!😍🤗😍.
