The summer was ending.  The scream bugs were screaming. Tracy was book editing and losing her mind.

Awww, sorry to hear that...But the bugs are still funny

Sometimes you just gotta exhume yourself and scream.

Noble_Bluejacket

They’re determined to force you to join the chorus

Alex Pendragon

I plead ignorance. What are scream bugs?

Chrysalis

Ah, the sound of love. With the 17-year cicadas added this year for extra screaming.

Alena Renner

Cicadas, among others, anything that makes a loud repetitive noise in North America during summer.

I had to share this with my mother, because rural North Carolina. Soundtrack of Summer.

Lol. Chorus and green tree frogs here in Ohio, right around July. AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH! HIIIIIIIIIIYYAAAAAAAAAH! WHOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Ascender

The day you realize that everything that makes noise in nature is just screaming, FUCK ME! FUCK ME! GO AWAY! NO, NOT YOU, HIM! YOU, COME FUCK ME! THIS IS MY PUDDLE/BRANCH/HOLE, GET FUCKED! FUCK ME, NOT HIM!"

Leigh Legler

Oh noooo... after moving to the PNW I miss cicadas so bad and the madness they bring.

Suzume S.

aaah, just like cicadas in Japan...!

Tracy Butler

I must admit, it'd seem unsettlingly quiet around here without them

AnStarWar

I moved from the PNW to St Louis this past October and the cicadas have been...a surprise...to say the least. They crack me up cuz they just seem so distraught all the time. This picture is perfectly accurate for sure!

We don't have any bugs or frogs louder than crickets here, but the raccoons and the coyotes are making up for that.

Living in southwest Japan, the screambugs here make the ones back in Missouri seem sedate. They've just pretty much died off for the year, but once in awhile I still hear one poor guy.

Stephen Hutchison

You just need to find a place with tree frogs and ... well, that won't work as easily right now with the droughts and fires and climate change but they DID have a tendency to make constant noise.

Jason Rock

Each bug is screaming "DTF" at the top of their... book lungs.
