Seven freshly molted cicadas and their empty nymph shells. There are now thousands in the area. The noise they make is loud.
Eh...wot?

Keep them in your area Hippie, I didn't see any yet.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Been in full swing about a week here hippie. Everyday they get a little louder.

Keep them in your area Hippie, I didn't see any yet. We went up Licking Crick today and they were flying into the vehicle. Up in the mountain they are just starting but in the valley they are pretty thick.

Used to see and hear them in FLA. Tonight, Tucker had a report on them. They gave him a plate of chocolate covered cicadas ...he didn't know that and ate one ahead of time ...lol....he ate another one on live stream and liked it again ... I had chocolate covered grasshoppers years ago in Georgia. They were good ! Like I say- just cover it with chocolate ! It is good to know what you can eat if you need to. I was just glad they didn't sing at night , when I was in FLA. They can be deafening. Fascinating insects , really. Love those ruby red eyes.

[quote] Heard on the radio this past week; if you have shellfish allergies you shouldn’t eat them. Simular enough biologically to cause problems. Some taco stands selling them.

None here. Not that I would be able to hear them over the peepers anyway.
