How to Speak Cicada

Fun article, but to prevent disappointment, we've only learned four cicada phrases:

I want to mate.

No, you can't mate with me.

Sure, mate with me.

Stop touching me.

"Watch out, bird!"

"My butt fell off."

Perfectly sufficient for this last stage of their life where they do two things: mate and die.

As opposed to the first stage of their life where they do only one thing, suck on tree roots.
