1. I like cicadas
My dog likes to chase them if she sees 'em when we go out at night.

6. Me too, and it's a good thing. My tinnitus sounds just like
katydids, crickets and locusts when I put my ear to a pillow. It always sounds like summertime nights when I go to bed.

7. I had one in my house last night
I heard one chirping and I thought it sounded REALLY close.... it was on the wall about 4 feet from my head.

I picked it up and dumped it out the window. :D
