Come on down to Virginia. They are pretty talkative around here.

Well, I wouldn’t call it FearNet material, but there are plenty of them around in Northern Virginia to the extent that you have to watch where you step if you don’t want to be scraping your shoes.

My friend in Westfield, NJ. is complaining loudly about them. They’re everywhere! And loud as all git out!

They haven’t started buzzing in Tucson yet. They will though, every year here we get the buzz of satan.

Although they never quite said so, I got the impression that they only got as far north as Connecticut.

Just as they were about to come out, the word spread among them that Obama had won the last election, so they decided they were better off staying buried.

Seriously — if you look at the maps, for some reason, the invasion wasn’t projected to make it past the northern Connecticut border.

Brood II range is in VA mostly and PA. They are all over my house and car and the woods sound like a hovering flying saucer.

After Jason Collins came out and got all the media coverage, the cicadas decided that they would look silly by coming out so soon after.

No Cicadas yet at my house on LI. And we've had three 90 degree days in a row. It was cold before that though.

I think they have all drowned and been washed down the Mississippi in the Midwest.

I don’t think that’s a complete brood II map.

Their unemployment ran out and they all signed up for disability.

Come to my house here in Virginia. We’re surrounded by trees, and the sound is like a loud, constant tuning fork. You can hear it over the TV.

I happen to be bug-phobic, and I am sitting here wondering how I’m going to get through an outdoor wedding later today.
