Gonna get noisy here soon.

chassis · Yesterday, 07:47 PM

Seems early. There is a fair amount of variation across regions in the country on emergence timing and sound/song.

Hate those critters

Esteban · Yesterday, 08:24 PM

They don’t bother us here in my neck of the woods. We do have crickets, but I don't mind them.

M_Six · Yesterday, 09:03 PM

We live in one of six counties in IL that will host both broods. I do not feel lucky.

Both parents were from Illinois. Moved to California after they got married.

They have been down here in Bama for a couple weeks.

SC sounded like a Star Trek tricorder a few days ago when we were down there.....

Chihuahua · Today, 05:06 AM

I call the big one Bitey.

How long are they expected to be around? We don’t have them here so don’t know much about them.

I'm in NW Arkansas (Benton County). No sign or noise of those critters yet, but soon.

Looks like my area has brood XIX, the 13 year brood, for 2024.

Meh... just kind of used to them after living in the south most of my life. Frankly their noise kind of just blends in with my tinnitus.

Sorry to hear about the tinnitus. We don't get the noise from the cicadas and I don't have tinnitus. Guess my ears are lucky. Wish I could say the same for my poor ol' aching back.
