We call them "Abura Zemi".
"abura" means oil.
Thier voice is similar to the sound that we hear when we are deep-frying some food in oil.
They sing even at night.
Funabashi is a habitable place for them.
There are many sand pear(nashi pear) farm here, and they love fruit tree.

これらの蝉は美しい。
Nice photo!
Thanks, Leica!!!!!
When I was a teenager I would go to stay with my brother in Oklahoma. They had big cicadas there. In the summer they would come out and make a lot of noise and leave their skins from molting all over the ground. I liked them.
Hello sandra,thanks for your comment.
I think they are singing during this month.
My playmates and I pick those up from trees during summer, we know its summer when they start to sing...much like how I notice the depiction of Japanese movies and animes, they use cicadas to denote that summer has come.
Hello mirage. Thanks for your comment.
I think cicada is one of sysmbl of summer for Japanese.
