Every summer
what wakes us up is neither the alarm clock
nor the dream
but the cicada that screams louder than an electric drill every day
Many fans leave deep messages in the background
! have! same! feel!
It is as if the cicada has a microphone
surrounding its ears and keeps singing
"I want a life in full bloom"

Why does the cicada always keep calling?
What does this mean? It’s time for
to answer questions!
Let’s take a look~
Why do cicadas always scream?
The answer is: I need to find a partner!
Summer is the mating season of cicadas
There are more than 3,000 species of cicadas in the world
Most of the cicadas can sing
And most of them are male cicadas

They rely on sound to court mates
The louder they scream Loud
indicates that the stronger the body
the greater the attraction to female cicadas
(understandable, but really noisy)

When can cicadas stop screaming?
Cicadas appear every summer
and their activities are relatively regular
When the temperature at night is lower than 24℃
They usually stop chirping
In other words, the chirping of cicadas is "limited to summer"
Just bear with it
I really can't help it, here are some tips !
You can take physical noise reduction measures
Close the windows or wear earplugs, etc.
(As long as you find a way, the cicadas will not disturb me!
)
What does the cicada's chirping mean?
According to tests, the general chirping of cicadas is about 60 decibels
It is equivalent to the sound when people make loud noises
The cry of some large cicadas can even reach 120 decibels
It is equivalent to the human ear hearing it at a distance of the tail of a jet
00 meters The noise that we hear Even if it screams all day long
, it still has its own significance
Insect experts said
We can hear the cicadas
It means that the urban ecological environment is getting better
If you can't hear it, it means that the surrounding ecological environment
has deteriorated It is bad to a certain extent
It can be seen that the ecological environment of our Zhangzhou Port
has been recognized by these "ecological inspectors"
In addition, the excellent water quality of our port
fresh air and coastal beaches
also attracted Chinese white dolphins and
"environmental birds" egrets have come to make their home here

I hope to see more animals in Zhangzhou Port in the future
The cicada can also find a partner as soon as possible
Give us some peace and quiet The summer
