I am like you, dreamoftheiris, in love with cicadas. In Provence they are called annual cicadas coming out every year, as soon as the temperature reaches a certain degree in late spring. The climb up the trees and sing there all summer. They live for about five years, going back underground when the coldness comes on. That’s why in france they are such a symbol of summer. They sing all day long and at night their song is replaced by the crickets’, so days and nights in Provence are highly musical anyway.
