Looks like the 17 year visitors have arrived in Maryland. My dog has feasted on dozens. Going to be a long and noisy couple of weeks. Trillions of mating bugs yay!

Hate cicadas. That is all.

Edit: Sorry for the thread crap - it was just my visceral reaction to the photos.

My kids love them. The info out every morning and gather hundreds. Then throw them around like helicopter seeds. Haha

That’s from last 30 mins

Smart girl; and/or I have the same tolerance of nature as a 5 year old girl.

As a young boy I thought our woods were haunted by drunk, summertime goats.

*Shudder*

Can’t stand them either . None at my house, but I feel our baseball fields will be infested soon. There are holes everywhere there

Fishing will be good, though.

A memorable commercial from my Cincinnati teen years: Snappy Cicada Pizza!

I was outside last night getting my wallet from my car and I could hear them moving and coming out of the molts. It was shocking how much noise bugs can make just by moving.

I actually like the sound of them buzzing but this sound was freaking me out.

 

[bigblind]

they have started coming up here (NWI) the last couple days, thousands of them, it's
awesome, gotta love mother nature

 

[joeyshin]

We just had a huge swarm like 3 years ago. I thought they only come once every 17 years

This is a different brood. Actually two of them. One of those rare instances when 13 and 17 year converge. But the area is Midwest and south. The DMV should be spared from this one.
