Hey, I’ve been meaning to ask. Have you had the onslaught of cicadas that everyone is talking about? A former freeper/Facebook friend uploaded a video from her house, and I’ll swear even listening to it on the computer was completely nerve wracking! We usually have a few of them in the middle of summer, but never like THAT.
No, I heard one yesterday afternoon and saw a husk on a grass seed stem while I was mowing. We might not have one of the big broods here; just the “annual” ones and they’re a little slow to come out.
One of the Nashville news stations did a piece last week about a couple whose house was totally covered with cicadas. None of their neighbors had any!
I don’t know what to expect here. We’ve had huge hatchings a couple of times in the past but I don’t remember when the last one was. It’s been a while.
The noise really gets on some people’s nerves but it’s never bothered me. Some people don’t like katydids but they’re my favorite summer bugs. Different strokes for different folks, as they say. :-)
