Cicada invasion

   / Cicada invasion #2  
We have a lot of invasions going on these days.

”No joke”
 
   / Cicada invasion #6  
First ones have emerged in WI today. I checked my trees and none here yet.
 
   / Cicada invasion #7  
We've had them for a couple of weeks in Middle Tennessee. Pretty loud outside. They make a pitched sound like bearings failing on a fan belt pulley.
 
   / Cicada invasion #8  
Already active in Central Southern Illinois.

Creepy when they land on ya

They are full force in STL. Going outside you almost need ear protection.

I’ve seen thousands of shells under some trees and none under other trees. I’ve seen few live bugs - just thousands of brown shells.

I’ve been told they will be gone in early June.

Interesting to hear this. We've not really been affected by them/haven't heard them. Saw a bunch of their "shells" on trees a week or so ago and rounded up a handful of live ones to feed to the chickens. But haven't really seen or heard them since on our property.

Maybe the frogs at our pond just drown them out?
