Let the chirping begin

[Dilbert San Diego]

I remember a few cycles ago, in 1970, people called them the 17 year locusts.

[Mariner]

I’d druther deal with earthquakes, floods and fires.

30 per square foot?

What the hell do they eat?

[chuckee]

Annoying little bastards.

[fwdude]

I actually love that sound. It hearkens back to the sounds of nature when I was a kid spending 12+ hours outside. Very sentimental.

[diatomite]

I saw these when I grew up in KY, but they remind me of Mormon crickets hatching high in the NV mtns and eating their way down the mountain valleys. Those bugs don’t chirp, but do make loud chewing/rustling sounds out of a horror movie. I once saw caution signs on I-80 because the bug smash was making the pavement slippery.

[chuckee]

My tinnitus is evidence the last time the little pests were here, most of them ended up nesting in my auditory system rather than leaving the planet. Maybe they’ll leave with their little buddies the next time they blight the planet.lol

[SuperLuminal]

Billions of new communist voters...

Those registration lines are going to be very very long...

[fidelis]

We need more of these guys: Cicada Killer Hornets:

[heavy metal]

maybe they’ll drown out aoc and company...

[ronniesgal]

my dog eats them.

[SamAdams76]

It’s that time again. We get to listen to the grasshoppers sing.

[xrmusn]

Ho hum, fifth repeat performance for me...

Ho Hum...

What is that constant chirping TRYING to drown out my constant chirping/ringing from tinnitus????

Really hard to tell the difference when one thinks their tinnitus can be heard by others...<: <: <:

[Starstruck]

By Summer we may be calling them protein. Always look to God’s bounty.

[kaehurowing]

Doesn’t this happen every year?

[Fledermaus]

Last time we had the 7 year ones they were loud and swarmed. They would get on my shirt and cling.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

Won’t be as bad as “Brood Z”, when they leave the ground looking for living flesh to eat.

[csvset]

I saw Cicadas emerging one spring morning. As soon as it was daylight , birds swarmed in and picked off practically each and every one of them except the one that was in the guard shack with me.

[a fool in paradise]

They won’t even recognize America.

And besides, the old neighborhood’s been torn down and replaced.

[RetiredTexasVet]

I saw a video on the internet of a chef cooking them. I wonder if the WH will cook some up for UN, Moo, and the other enviro freaks that advocate eating bugs and worms? Would be brilliant to have the UN clowns eating bugs while the rest ate steak and lobster.
