This is a Cicada bug. Did you know that they can live to be 17 years old? They can be found all over the country. In late afternoon, the cicada begins to sing a delightful song. Most of us can remember it by the high pitch buzz that it makes at nightfall. Historically, the cicada symbolized that the long, hot days of summer were coming to an end. Another interesting fact about this insect is that only after the cicada sheds its final skin does it sing.
Here in the Rockies, we are already receiving signs that summer is about over. Get out there in the sunshine and soak up the warmth of nature around you. Soon, we will be hibernating like the bears
So, on that note the quote of the day is:
“One season rolls into the next, seemingly without notice, just like our lives.” tc
