Cicada Season in Japan

Along with an incredible heatwave, cicada season is now upon us in Japan. Due to their extremely high population count, cicadas' little "songs" are so loud that in some areas you have to raise your voice just to have a conversation. I have caught myself wondering if it's raining outside only to open the front door and realize it's just cicadas. I actually like it, though.


I have actually blogged about "cicada killers" before HERE. Trust me, it's well worth a look.

And roaming around I found these:
-Backyard Cicada killer wasp video
-Half decent closeup of Wasp on Cicada action
-Unrelated Japanese giant hornet
-And Killer hornets attack honey bees. Kinda epic.

  1. Are you going to eat some, or do people even still eat cicadas in Japan?
