Anybody ever SEE a cicada as it is singing? I just walked outside and I heard

them (you know, the singing goes up to a crescendo and then comes back down).

I've seen their shells all my life, and deceased cicadas.

I saw some live ones out West, it was either NM, MT, or ID, in an area where there had been a volcanic eruption about 1000 years ago.

But I never see live ones in the trees around here.

1. I've gotten hit in the head several times by them
Does that count? Seriously, they are terrible fliers and I hate being smacked by them. You probably won't ever really "see" them singing as they are generally sitting in trees as they do that.
I saw plenty of live ones in our outbreak back in 2007(?)
