Did the same thing......I thought there was some relation to when they
start singing and x number of weeks to fall. But a Google search says
you can determine the outside temperature by how long they sing.
Never figured that out.

So that's what they look like! Thanks for that.
I tried to find one all week when I was in Egypt.

Seems to be what all the tourists there were buying as charms for
their bracelets.

I could hear cicadas and wanted to see one!

I don't think dung beetles are particularly noisy - maybe the odd grunt
as they push the sun over the horizon but mostly if you can't see them
you don't know they're around!
