This gives the bird population pleanty of food to rely on in the next month.
Makes great bass fishing bait to.

My son was about 5 the first summer the cicadas came. It was one of the most fun summers he ever had.
There’s no manmade toy half as fun to an inquisitive kid as a cicada. He used to spend hours watching them buzz along the sidewalk.

1953, 1970, 1987, 2004...
Those are the years for what I thought was the biggest brood of cicadas. This can’t be it.

I welcome this. The noise of the cicadas will drown out the incessant barking of the neighbors’ dogs.

Its sounds like and alien invasion. When Brood XIV hit here in 2008, I had muffler issues but I could still hear them in my car, with windows closed, going 60 miles an hour. You can’t mow the lawn for a month because they’ll land all over you.

In Michigan, around lake St. Clair we have fish flies. So thick that cars trying to drive on streets covered in them have skidded and crashed just as if you were driving on snow.
It's a yearly occurrence

It must have been the 1970 season that I remember (although it seemed a little earlier). We called the them the “17 year locusts”

They have the same flies in the Central New York Finger Lakes area, and yes they get thick. Some of the towns have to get out the snow removal equipment to get the slippery bodies off of the pavement. As I recall they could be a half inch thick on the street. In a week though, they’d all be gone until the next year.
