In this episode of On the Nature Trail, we step outside on a warm August afternoon to discover the tiny musicians creating one of late summer’s most familiar sounds: cicadas. Hidden among the treetops, these insects spend most of their lives underground as nymphs before emerging for a few remarkable weeks as winged adults. Learn how cicadas create their buzzing songs, why New Hampshire’s annual cicadas appear every summer, and how these harmless insects support the forest ecosystem as an important food source for wildlife.
Listen closely to the sounds of late summer. Find On the Nature Trail wherever you listen to podcasts.
