Do you have any favorite Cicada patterns? I remember a few years ago, travelling through Southern Ohio, Kentucky, TN, AL, and the FL panhandle, hearing the deafening roar of Cicadas. I had no idea what the noise was at first - it was a bit weird. I could hear this strange roar with the window open in my car, travelling along at 60 MPH.
I'd love to see your Cicada patterns! Ian H.
