the winds of Mother Nature.

Speaker Notes to Fig. 3—
Encyclopedia Britannica has photo
of a cicada similar to the sidewalk art
with stout body and transparent wings.
Tzee-tzee-tzee-tzee buzzing is 90 decibels,
as loud as a lawn mower, whining sound
of electrical wires rising and falling, or
pressing scissors against a grinding wheel.
