Cicadas
"The cicada's claim to fame is its singing. The high-pitched song is actually a mating call belted out by males. Each species has its own distinctive song that only attracts females of its own kind. This allows several different species to coexist." - from here.
Their mating calls remind me of spring, summer, and the house where I grew up. For the first few years after I moved out, I was disappointed by not hearing their melodic calls, especially in the morning. But they are back where I'm living now, and this makes me very happy and nostalgic!
They don't bite, and as bugs go, I think they're pretty and I like them. One of my favorite t-shirts has a discreet little cicada on the neckline.
