ツクツクは行く夏と共に鳴く。
********
最後まで鳴いている蝉は、この辺りではツクツクボウシかと思います。ツクツクの鳴き声が秋虫の声と混じる日は、ある意味で二つの季節をいっぺんに味わえる、ということで贅沢な日になるのかしらん。
しかし、蝉の鳴き声は同じなのに、気温や日差しや風の様子が変わった中で聴くと、なんとなく物悲しく感じるのは何故なのでしょう。秋の雰囲気の方にキモチが引っ張られてしまっているのかしらん。
(余談:写真の蝉の抜け殻の持ち主は、ツクツクではないと思います。ヒメハルゼミ辺りでしょうか??)
A Meimuna opalifera is singing with the going-summer.
*********
Around my neigbourhood, a last cicada is Meimuna opalifera. There are some kinds of cicadas that live in, they are the one that keep singing until last summer and the beginning of autumn. We could have days that two insects, the cicadas and the insects that sing in autumn, sing together. It's a wonderful day, isn't it?
Their songs are the exact same as when they sing in mid-summer and in early autumn. When I hear their songs in autumn, I feel something ... like "autumn", lonely. Temperatures, sunlights and winds are different from each other. That's why? My feeling might be close to autumn rather than summer?
