There is an insect in many Japanese video games who comes out in the summer months and makes the noise KWA. KWA. KWA. KWAAAAAAA. It is in Harvest Moon, the playstation cat game and I think maybe in Persona 4 and many others. Does anyone know what it is?

Cicada's are actually loud as fuck irl

In South Carolina they are like flies. That and the humidity makes me feel just like I'm in a japanese anime if that anime was about niggers.
>>
>>385042415
Not all of them and not everywhere.
I have no clue about USA, but in Central Europe, where I live, cicadas live, but are mostly very, very small and barely noticeable sound-wise. Instead, we have crickets to provide the typical summer soundtrack.

We have some in cali and theyre pretty loud.

Cicadas exist in the states too, dumbass.

>>385042934
I know what kind of noise the bigger ones can make. I've traveled through Japan - there were moments where we literally could not hear each other over them.
Also, one those so called "bear cicadas" flew right into my face - it was like getting hit by someone's fist.

My point is that not ALL of them are. I remember catching the fuckers by hand as a kid here, but their voice was barely noticeable compared to the crickets.

>>385043151
Wrong. They live across majority of Europe. You just haven't noticed them because they are small and relatively silent compared to the fucks that live in South and East Asia and - apparently - in U.S.

As a kid I would hear Cicadas in the forest behind my grandparent's house, and those fuckers are LOUD, it's like a siren going off.

Deafness runs in my family and when I asked them what that buzzing noise was, no one knew what I was talking about. Drove me absolutely bonkers trying to figure out what that sound was; I felt like the forest was haunted cause only I could hear it. I don't think it was till I was a teenager that I played a game with Cicada noise that I learned what that weird shit was.

cicadas are only okay in anima/vidya but they are awful in real life especially when they fucking fly and hit things so hard.

I can't believe people don't know what cicadas are
see this thread on /a/ sometime too with people acting as though it's some magical sound in anime

That's why I'm no longer afraid of cicadas. I got sweet revenge when I discovered they hated spiders though and they're still afraid of those today.

Grew up in Oklahoma as a kid and the cicadas were loud in the spring/summer and shells were everywhere.
