Cicadas

Clickety-Clack Cicada

Clickety-clack cicada
Clinging to the wall,
When the sun is sleeping
You don’t sing at all.
But when the sun is shining
On summer days so long,
Clickety-clack cicada
What a noisy song!

We have so many cicadas singing outside our classroom and in the playground.
We have been collecting the skins that the cicada nymph sheds when it becomes an adult.
Did you know a cicada nymph can live for more than 7 years underground before it climbs up a tree to change into an adult cicada?

We enjoyed sketching cicadas. 
Look on our individual Blogger posts for our sketchings.

Challenge:
Do you know how a cicada makes it's noise?
Clue:
It is not by rubbing his wings.
