Have impressive pictures of Brood X but alas the pics are too big to download. They are starting to accumulate in drifts by some of the trees. The hum is almost deafening now.
I put one of those traps out to keep them from eating the silks on my corn in 2004 and it pulled in all the beetles in the county then I REALLY had a problem lol
Haven't read it anywhere but evidently there are areas of cicada "hotspots" think wifi here. Local streams ponds etc. with the same geology as Towhee and not one damn bug. The news stories should have a disclaimer for hotspots only.
Millions/billions of Cicada's in Haycock township out by Nockamixon lake, opposite of dry slot heavy at times and low visibility lol
Here to the west absolutely nada
Worth a shot that drug has saved my azz every bad allergy season since 2000, did have a couple several year periods where the allergy problem left me alone the immune system is wild and wacky
According to the US forest service we don't even have this brood x in our region!

Does anybody have the correct answer about these Cicada's? I mean it's been in the news for months.
Nope they were about as far from correct as you can get, it was a common marsh bug you can hear all summer and it was at night. I tried telling em they are 100x louder and they don't make their noise at night, got no traction lol
Family member tried telling me three weeks ago in April the cicadas were out buzzing away, no joke
The deal is a local station did a story that they were out, fake news but family member ran with it
