When I go to office in the morning, I am enjoying voice of cicadas. Some people might hear cicada's voice as just noise. Voice of cicadas makes me feel that it's in high summer. At first, Platypleura kaempferi (Niiniizemi) sing "nii-nii", secondly, Graptopsaltria nigrofuscata (Aburazemi) sing "zi-zi" and Oncotympana maculaticollis ( Minminzemi ) sing "miin-min-min-min-miiin". When Tanna japonensis (Higurashi ) sing "kana-kana-kana" and Meimuna opalifera ( Tsukutsukuboushi ) sing "tsukutsukuboushi-tsukutsukuboushi", I feel the autumn will soon come. I could not hear Cryptotympana fucialis (Kumazemi ) 's voice "shan-shan-shan-shan" in Tokyo, but I used to like hearing them in Osaka in my younger days.
We, Japanese, feel cicada as friends in summer from long time ago. The title of 3rd chapter of " the tales of Genji " is "Utsusemi", cicada's shell. " Shizukasaya Iwani shimiiru Semino koe " is a faimous haiku of Mr. Basho Matsuo. It's so quiet. Only cicada's voice penetrates into rocks.
Aesop of Greece left a tale of the ant and the cicada ( grasshopper ). I would like to listen to foreign cicada's voice some day.
