Good to know those annoying assholes aren't just limited to the northern hemisphere.

They're a pretty low maintenance pet, as you only need to feed them every 13 or 17 years.

I don't know if we have the same species, but every 13 or 17 years, it's fricken unbearable...

Seems you do. And note this:

What are the loudest cicadas in the world?
Loudest | Science Literacy and Outreach | Nebraska
African cicada
An African cicada, Brevisana brevis, is the Worlds loudest insect. Its loudest song is almost 107 decibels when measured at a distance of 20 inches (50 cm) away. Thats almost as loud as a chainsaw (110 decibels). Two North American cicada species are in close second with songs at 106 decibels.
