Only a few insects are known to have the ability to hear of which cicadas are included. However, from Brittanica:

Cicadas are noted for the intensity of sound produced by some species and for the elaborate development of the ears, which are located on the first segment of the abdomen.

Please adjust your torture method accordingly and continue...

Oh legit point.

This is a classic repost.

Guess it makes sense that insects that use sounds to attract mates also have ears.

Cicadas sound like summer to me. For the most part I am a fan!

Yeah. I've moved away from where I grew up and I miss the sound of the cicadas, weirdly enough. Summer just doesn't really feel like summer without the BREEEEEaaaREEEEEEEaaaREEEEE of the cicadas in all the trees.

They're annoying until you get used to them and then they just become part of the ambience.

Such cruel torture methods, the poor bastard doesn't even have a mouth to vomit after hearing hours of baby shark.

North American Cicadas sound horrible. When I first came to NA from Europe, I thought it was because of the overhead transformers they put everywhere.

Lol karma is a bitch

Offer them up to a cicada killer in your backyard.

They are rage, brutal, and extremely fucking annoying, but you will be worse. Rip and tear until it is done.

Did his dad even survive reentry from space?

I hope somebody bigger and stronger than the arsehole that did this brutalizes them in a similar fashion.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

It's a bug.

You want humans killed with giant flyswatters too?
