I’ve only lived in Kentucky for 14 years, but this is the first year I’m witnessing the Cicada infestation. It’s marvelous. The sound, the pretty bugs. Pretty cool.
Last year was the main hatch for the two breeds but glad to hear there are “sleepy heads” waking up.
When did you start hearing them this year? You are a few weeks north of me in SW Arkansas. I will be listening thanks to your post.
Last year, I was just outside the zone. There were a few nearby, but the whir of the swarm was miles away, like the UFO engine sound of every 1950’s sci-fi movie.
