🪲🎶 All Buzz, No Bite!

Did you know? Cicadas can spend up to 17 years underground before finally emerging to sing their famous summer chorus. Males create that loud buzz using special drums called tymbals — it’s their love song to attract a mate. 💚

Despite the noise, cicadas are completely harmless — no bites, no stings. Just nature’s orchestra reminding us of the season. 🌳🌞

👂 Have you heard the cicadas singing where you live yet?
