I’ve never understood this. As I said, we get them every year, but my understanding is that it’s different cicadas from year to year. I’ve always meant to find out more about them but never have.

We lived in the country when our first child was young. He pointed out to me that we had 2 sets of grasshopper-like bugs. The first set to hatch out he called the wee-ooo bugs because of the sound they made. The second set he called the oooo-wee bugs. At age 3 or so the kid was right, they were different bugs and made different noise but I had never noticed. He has grown up to be a very smart man who notices everything.
