I live in the midst of one of the Brood X regions and the Cicadas are here. They arrived about a week ago in small numbers and then have been piling on ever since! The cool (downright chilly) temps of the past two days have caused them to lay low, but tomorrow, summer is back and I expect them to return to their love songs and mating. There is no evidence that that part of their short lives above ground has started yet. I anticipate another 26-32 days of the heaviest presence. As life forms, they don't bother me in the least; however, their singing in such numbers makes it all but impossible to hang out on my deck. A small price to pay for this unique species' survival.
