Different. Those are annual summer cicadas that come out in August here in Indiana. The 17- & 13-year guys come out in the millions and are deafening for about 2-3 weeks. They damage a lot of trees, though most mature ones survive. Been through 5 17-year blasts the worst being 2004 where we live. We were ground zero.

I’m at the point where I say let them eat. Hopefully my garden will be in by then and they might even help me get rid of stuff so that I don’t have to keep trimming. I hope they eat the invasive plants like English Ivy, Kudzu, Forsythia, Honeysuckles, Morning Glories, and other things I can’t get ahead of, after my garden is done of course.
