We asked at an information center and found out the loud bug is a Cicada, and you can see him in the middle of the branch here. They are LOUD, in fact the "song" hits 120 decibels, rivaling a jet engine taking off according to the University of Nebraska. The male actually stuffs his own ears so he won't deafen himself, and it's all to attract the female....who by the way can hear the guy a quarter of a mile away!!!!! So we had about a thousand of them right above us in Nebraska........sleep is over rated anyway right?
