Walker Cicada Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a walker cicada! Pffft. I walk all the time and no one calls me "Walker Sepulchria."

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  The walker cicada is quite the noisy thing. I tell you, this impolie pest simply canNOT abide the quiet.

 In the heat of summer, the male strikes up a strange rattling song, hoping to woo a mate.

 When other male cicadas hear this rhythmic racket, they join right in... As if it were a sing-along! My head aches at the thought of it.
