Cicada Calling Songs Videos
About the Calling Songs Video Category
All cicada calling songs have been placed in this video section. You may notice that there seems to be multiple calling songs for the same species. This is intentional because most of these songs come from different parts of the United States and may hold clues into regional calling variations from the same species. Think of them as "different accents".
You can navigate through these videos by the page navigation towards the bottom. Clicking on a thumbnail with a play icon will launch the video player in a modal window. Under each video is a comment form if you would like to leave a comment or ask questions.

Published On: 2007-08-19
Description: While doing survey work on Nantucket in 2007 via a grant from the Maria Mitchell Museum, I was surprised to find out that Nantucket Island has a well established population of Tibicen tibicen (formerly T. chloromera). Unfortunately, on the mainland of Massachusetts only the occasional specimen is heard in some areas.

Another Okanagana rimosa calling song
Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2007-07-07
Description: This is a video of Okanagana rimosa calling in captivity. Having the sun shining directly on the mesh bag seems to trigger calling. Also they seem to like to call in the late afternoon around 5:00 or 6:00 pm. Of course this may be due to the specimen being held in a mesh bag against its will and in fact, the mere fact of being in captivity may change its behavior.
