Have a look at what they're whinging about back home!

In the Sydney beachside suburb of Newport, the locals are complaining about the noise of the summer cicadas, which they claim are louder and more irritating than in previous years:

"It's such a loud noise you hear it within in your head," said resident Brett Fulton. Merle Hurcombe said she was unable to hear the radio or the television even when she was sitting right in front of them.

But it's not just the sound that's irritating residents —they say going outdoors now comes with the added risk of being coated in cicada spray.

"It's pretty terrible. You can't walk down the driveway without getting cicada wee all over you. It feels like its raining everytime you walk outside," said local Sky Lund.

I don't think I'd ever even seen a cicada until I came to Japan, let alone heard one. And I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of being urinated on by one of these creatures. Fingers crossed: maybe next summer.
