We have them to some degree every year but haven’t had a mass swarm since 08. I hear next year is going to be the next big swarm. I still remember driving down the road and suddenly going through a massive cloud of them. It was crazy.Have no idea if any of you live in an area dealing with cicadas or not. Oh yes, they are alive and speaking around us. So loud that I just had to go out and take a DB reading to see just how loud they are. They peaked at 73 DB and averaged 63.5 DB. Now that isn't ear hurting loud, but you really have to work at mere conversations with anyone around you... But I like the little bug-eyed critters all the same...View attachment 397541
