All around the Northeast -- from Pennsylvania to Maryland to Connecticut -- billions of cicadas are starting to emerge from the ground after 17 years of underground adolescence mostly spent feeding on the fluid inside tree roots.
While this emergence is the biggest in the Northeastern U.S. in a long while, the Southern states have had recent visits too. There are about 15 distinct broods of cicadas that emerge regularly in the U.S. In 2011, the Great Southern Brood popped up across the American Southeast.

When I was a kid we used to tie thread around them and fly them. We couldn’t afford those motorized model planes.

Yeah...we were so poor we had to wrap our bare feet in barbed-wire so we could walk to school in the ice.

I’ve been stung by bees, wasps, hornets, yellowjackets etc. I’ve never been stung by one of those Cicada Killers but they look like they could do the job.

I like the sound when fishing. Reminds me of my grandfather. When sitting at my house, not so much.
I REALLY love the sound of the whipper-will bird (may not be the real name). Very calm and peaceful to me.

Huh. I just did a web search and they are little sap suckers. You were right.
At least they do not swarm around me when I go outside and bite my sap!
