Most cicadas are gone and it’s been deafeningly quiet in my backyard. Yesterday, however, I heard some disco music and found the last two live cicadas dancing it out while singing... yes, you got it right - “Staying alive”! Cicadas love "Saturday Night Fever," as it turns out, and wanted to recreate the iconic scene from the bestest 70s movie.
I completely approve of their positive attitude to life. As ancient philosophers aptly put it: Dum spiro spero (While I breathe, I hope).
It’s been a fun adventure for both me and my awesome Brood X cicada friends. Let’s finish on a fun and deep note! :)
