Louder than bees. It\u2019s a hummingbird, I think. But today\u2019s surprise- no, it\u2019s from these big bugs, cicadas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Here\u2019s one I found at the base of the pea patch, now harvested. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"502\" height=\"502\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_7094.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12789\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_7094.jpg 502w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_7094-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_7094-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_7094-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.gemtactics.net\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/08\/img_7094-320x320.jpg 320w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 502px) 100vw, 502px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Cicada on the ground<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Later another one, in the hoophouse, on a jute rope that\u2019s holding up tomato vines.
