I wonder what happens when the 13 year Cicadas breed with the 17 year Cicadas? Will we get a new breed of 15 year Cicadas?

The Democrats are furiously trying to figure out a way to let them vote (Dem, of course).

Lived in Ohio almost 2 decades. Cicadas are something I definitely don’t miss. There were swarms of them at one of our kid’s graduation and it was nuts as the would fall on our out of state relatives.

I guess we don’t get the period swarms of them here in Texas like you do in the Midwest. We get the garden variety yearly green cicada’s and they almost never emerge in swarms.

Here in Alabama, there are plenty of cicadas every year. Even more will be singing? I love the sound!

I saw a video once where they snapped the tail end off and roasted it on a stick over the fire like a marshmallow. They said it winds up hard like a nut and tastes like a cashew.

If you get a big hatch, it’s more of a din than a sound.
