There are so many cicadas hatching in the mid-Atlantic that they’re being picked up by weather radar

I haven’t heard a single one up here in York, PA. Yet.

It's wonderful.
I've been looking forward to them since the last brood X.
Ours are running late due to cold temps.
And this is funny, if you're into bug anatomy...

Looks like York is not in the brood X area. Just on the edge of X.

someone could make a lot of money sucking them up and freezing them to sell as chicken feed.

Did you get to see the incredible Dragonfly swarm in 2019?

Cicadas are related to shrimp and crawfish. When I was a kid in Virginia, my Dad gave my sister and I, buckets of ice and showed us how to take the cicadas just after they loose their shell and before their new skin hardens. We plucked them off the trees and put them on ice. Later my mom would steam them just like shrimp or crabs and we’d eat them. Believe it or not, they actually taste like shrimp.

They’re thick in some parts of Northern Kentucky. As a tinnitus sufferer, I’ve told my wife, welcome to my world.

In Baltimore they’re so loud it can hurt your ear sitting in a car with the window down while waiting for a light to change.

Apparently squirrels have a taste for shrimp, then.
It’s bad enough trying to avoid hitting the cicadas flying low across the roads, here, but you have to watch for the squirrels who keep darting out to snatch up the carstruck ones.

They sound just like the Invaders from Mars War machines from the Gene Barry 1950ies version of the invasion.

Didn’t somebody use them as sound effects for some alien invasion movie, maybe War Of The Worlds?

Danged things are CREATING their own weather, there’s that many of them.
Yesterday, my car was covered with tiny microdroplets of cicada fluids of some kind. I don’t want to think to long about that. Today, I had to pull a cicada out of my cat’s long hair. They are oily, stupid, loud, and everywhere.

How odd.
I have a friend in your general area who says he’s slowly being driven mad by the Cicadic cacophony.

Here is your friendly reminder that cicadas are very edible and have a similar taste/nutritional profile to shrimp.
They are also said to be good stir-fried in oil in a cast iron skillet with some chopped garlic and Old Bay seasoning.
Let's make lemonade out of lemons here.
