A sound you recognize instantly—but can hardly place.

It's loud, piercing, and seems to come from all directions at once. And yet, its source usually remains invisible.

This episode is about the cicada—one of the loudest insects in the world. I'll explain how this amazing creature produces its sound, why it's so hard to find, and why its life is largely hidden.

You'll learn what's behind its sudden silence, why entire landscapes can begin to "sing," and what the final molt is all about.

An episode about heat, sound—and an insect you often hear but rarely see.
