They started early here in the KC area. Pretty much died down now. They were loudest this year than in the past.

They came early(July?)this year here in MI also...no more than normal, but kind of unusual to hear them mid-summer. Same with the katydids. Also no June bugs and a unusually short/smaller Japanese beetle swarm compared to years past.

Think we're going to pay for that mild winter/hot summer with an early fall/cold & snowy winter this year.

Hope not...got spoiled last winter.
