Seventeen-Year Cicadas

Has anybody else in the southeastern United States been deprived of Seventeen-Year Cicadas this summer? You know, the noisy black things with bulging red eyes what make an unholy racket around the clock? The reports from officialdom I read stated we should have expected 1.5 million per acre by...the end of June? I think that is when they were supposed to kick off, though I was wondering for some time before that. I'd experienced this twice before, and they're a nice respite from stink bugs.

My backyard is upon the woods, and beyond those woods the boundary to a national park is 1.5 miles away. As would be expected we've bears, raccoons, mountain lions, opossums, and that's just guests in the driveway, but I've not seen a single Seventeen-Year Cicada. In fact, I've not seen one anywhere I've traveled within fifty miles of here. I've heard a cicada here or there, but that is about it. This might have nothing to do with climate change, but given the (lack of) winter that preceded their non-appearance in this part of the world after the turn of the new year, it actually might.

I don't have much to add, honestly, just wondering if anyone else has wondered as well.
