We hear them all the time, but we rarely see them. Someone managed to film them making their distinctive 'music': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mah26og11ms

Thanks you guys! So, it's a cicada. It'd be nice if it"s one of those recently discovered Filipino species - the 'laughing cicada'... But it sounded more like a screaming one, when we heard the one being attacked by our dog :-} ...
