We had them for years until the fire ants. I guess 1989 was our last good hatch in my area of Arkansas.
Old enough to know better, but dumb enough to still try.

None here. Not that I would be able to hear them over the peepers anyway. Nice to hear them while laying in bed. It sure is. I got a whole swamp full of them too. Might grab a beer tonight and sit out and listen to them for a bit.

Would these even be similar to the locust John The Baptist ate in the wilderness? No. The locusts in the Bible are a type of grasshopper. Grasshoppers and crickets are edible. Adult cicadas are not. https://www.biblicalnaturalhistory.org/locust/

Adult cicadas are not. https://www.biblicalnaturalhistory.org/locust/That link is an interesting read. Maybe when Biden does away with cows , farmers can get in on the ground floor raising grass hoppers. They are 4 times more efficient at producing protein. No special slaughter required and might even replace chewing tobacco, lol. Thanks for the link.

Cicadas are a great source of protein for turkeys and their predators," Danks told WLKY. "When the turkeys eat the cicadas, they don't have to move and search for food, so they're not exposed to the predators either—plus the predators eat the cicadas, too, so it's really a triple-win for turkeys
