#cicada sounds

[geopsych]

The sound of cicadas and the sight of dragonflies and a butterfly at the lake a couple years ago. Mid to late July is insect time in Pennsylvania, at least in droughtless years. Young birds just fledged have no problem finding protein-rich meals everywhere which is why so many birds fly up from the tropics for nesting season. For them summer here is the promised land.

The sound of cicadas and purple martins, dragonflies gliding above the water plus a photobombing butterfly: the essence of summer at the lake.

Sounds and sights of late summer: the call of the cicadas and some tiger swallowtail butterflies. From 2020.

The flower fields in bloom this morning. This was planted for pollinators and their predators but it’s also beautiful.

Another August video, as much about the sounds of the cicadas as the flowers and butterflies.

Dragonflies with a quick monarch butterfly cameo. It’s the heart of summer now in Pennsylvania. The days are hot, in the 90s°F and nights only dipping to the 70s. You can hear the cicadas singing and watch dragonflies of many kinds skimming along the lakeside. This is the essence of summer.
