Cicadas and Summer in Japan
The sound of cicadas seems to be symbolic of summertime in Japan. Perhaps someone else can fill in why Haruhi would be likely to be hunting for them.

It's a summer pastime of kids and childish adults in Japan. You catch cicadas with big nets (like Western kids catching butterflies) and put them in little cages. Depending on the time of year, there are many different active types of cicada, each with a characteristic song. Some species are specifically associated with the end of summer.
