  1. 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.
  2. 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
  3. 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.
  4. A stone's throw away as the old timers say
  5. At lake Towhee specifically it's biblical I was impressed even at my old age. Never got em like that in Horsham it's worth a trip.
  6. 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
  7. Good to see the dry slot is finally caving
  8. Still silence around here, maybe like family member they heard a swamp critter?
  9. Hmm the new euro wants to barbeque the cicada brood out of existence
  10. GFS shows .25-.50" total precipitation through it's range
  11. At least it's a dry heat imagine if the dewpoint was 74F
  12. What a strange distribution map makes one wonder if they are spreading in territory over time.
  13. 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
  14. Not a Pharmacist just slept in a Holiday Inn Express. Never experienced a single side effect from it and they last 24hrs.
  15. Ever try drug store loratadine 10mg? I get the whole eyes, nose allergy thing bad but it cures me 100% one a day
  16. Delaware has brood X according to the forest service map and this only adds to my confusion
  17. According to the US forest service we don't even have this brood x in our region! https://www.fs.fed.us/foresthealth/docs/CicadaBroodStaticMap.pdf?fbclid=IwAR1aEazDyNFOUEW8QZxLiBss8Q44V3KfJvOJLtekgekgZPVVXFs7EWnRMHQ Does anybody have the correct answer about these Cicada's? I mean it's been in the news for months.
  18. 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
  19. I tried explaining the logic that you need 64F soil temperature, you can lead a horse to water....
  20. 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
  21. I have no soil sensor thingy and just assumed the ground was up to 64 or 65F now. Never assume anything.
  22. There are no cicadas, could the ground baked into a hard brick be keeping them entombed?
