Eden,

Come visit Iowa. We have them all! Lightning bugs ( or fireflies - whichever you please), cicadas (loud enough to amaze you), and crickets, which are so common that we hardly notice them singing. Frogs, too, if you are looking for nature songs outside of the insect community.
Thanks, everyone in this thread, for reminding me to appreciate all these various creatures!
