We (most of Texas, Cali, and the West half of the US) get left out of the fun. It's mostly east of the Mississippi. We just get the regular annual cicadas.



Here in Texas we have Quesada gigas (Giant Cicadas). I hear them almost every evening in the summer. I usually only hear one or two at a time. They are much louder than the regular cicadas, and they sound different. From a distance, they sound like a whistle.
Not my pic


We also have lots of "regular" cicadas. I've also seen some surprisingly small cicadas here, where the body is ~1/2" long.
