The "screaming" is their version of flirting. They've been buried a long time, and they don't have much time to get their groove on.
Yeah the sounds of nature are 90% "ANYONE WANNA FUCK?!?!?", 5% "ANYONE GOT FOOD?!", and 5% "OH SHIT / THAT'S DANGEROUS!"
If something is making noise it's either "fuck me" or "fuck off"
Cicadas should learn a thing or two with fireflies, gotta know how stimulate those girls visually
For cicadas their screaming is basically 100% "ANYONE WANNA FUCK?!?!?"
they were elaborating for 4 weeks, didn't you hear?
They also pee constantly
If you were asleep for 17 years, you'd need a piss, too.
Austin Powers can relate.
Don't they also have to fuck at some point in those 4 weeks?
That's mostly why they're screaming
i love how we still have no fucking idea how they manage to wait for 17 years exactly, we know why they do, it's obvious, but how they do it is just fucking magic.

Just because our trees scream in the summer doesn't mean you have to make fun of the bugs.
