Twice this week people have asked me what a cicada says in English. I know they don't speak English but what I mean is what do we say their sound is in English? Where I grew up we don't have cicadas so I never learned if they say buzz buzz, or creek creek, or whir whir, or whatever. The most common cicada in Japan goes min min min miii.
So what do they say in English? Some people here want to know.
