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.

M. decim Third Stage Call w/Interference Buzz

Play Third Stage Call w/Interference Buzz vidoe Author: Massachusetts Cicadas
Published On: 2008-06-13
Description: While surveying Cape Cod during the 2008 periodical cicada emergence. Using a series of whistles and finger-snaps, I recorded the "interference buzz" behavior along with getting this cicada to the third stage call. Male Magicicada septendecim have three distinct calling stages and employ an "interefence buzz" in order to confuse potential rivals of the location of a potential female.

Published On: 2008-06-07
Description: In this video the sun was going down and it was getting cooler. Mike Neckermann came up with a plan to bounce sunlight from the sun which was hanging low on the horizon and divert it so that it would shine on the Magicicada. It worked pretty well!
