Chirping cicada

During our walks at school we noticed some very loud (and a little annoying) chirping. Apparently it is the cicada which come out during the summer and cause a racket! They are so loud sometimes. Since we were so interested in them, looking up at the trees whenever we heard them, our teachers tried to catch some for us. They managed to catch one, but it was a female and did not chirp. Still, we mesmerized by the creature and were not at all scared when observing it. Now we know the source of all that noise.
