The frogs are here in Orchidland too. I can hear them as soon as the sun goes down. Until we build on our lot I am temporarily staying on a place that has chickens and they really do the trick. No frogs close to the house but I can hear them in the background. They do sound a lot like crickets when there not right by the window. When I first arrived I stayed at the Dolphin Bay Hotel in Hilo for a few nights, they were everywhere there. Very loud but I kept my windows open and still slept just fine, the sound does fade into the background after a little bit. I heard a yell as a woman found one in the washing machine. I guess frogs just want to get clean too.
