that webpage says we had them in 2015 in TX, but I think we had some last year also. I DO NOT WANT THEM THIS YEAR. BOOI BOO!
I will take notice though now of burrow holes. Maybe boiling water down them. I'll try to remember that I should wrap my tree and larger bush trunks also. ugh
There are smaller broods on different schedules, but the main event is the big hatch this 17th year.
The need to cut a small board in half has sent me down a black hole of googling different types of saws. If I'm not careful I could end up with a home workshop. sigh
Nashville's next big cicada year will be 2027, unless they come early. I remember because our brood last emerged in 2010, soon after the flood.

You can never have too many saws.

You say this as though it's a bad thing.
That map doesn't even include my end of the country. Which explains why, when we got a couple of them a couple years ago, I didn't have a clue WTF was making that NOISE.
I don't think I've ever experienced cicadas? I'm probably imagining them entirely wrong
The sound of cicadas is the sound of a hot New England summer for me. I was probably well into my teens before I realized what the sound actually was: I think I thought it had to do with the powerlines.
No cicadas here, which I don't mind, but I do miss fireflies.
I am blowing off going biking with my sister and considering going to BevMo...
Cicada map, if you want to know exactly when/where:
Wow, so that must mean the DCF2F was 17 years ago.
I was thinking the same thing, because I remember us talking about them at Anne W's house, but now that I do the math, it was only sixteen years ago (2004), right?
