Lightning bugs sound interesting. We don't have those. Probably our favourite creature to collect, show off to friends and then release, was cicadas. I found one in the garden a while ago - see photo - but usually we just see their discarded shells and of course hear them. The most desirable one to find was called a Black Prince, being completely black and very handsome. On a really hot day the air throbs with their call. I'm not sure if they are the same in the US or not.

The sound of cicadas, or July flies as we called them, in the woods is the sound of summer to me.
