Honeymoon is over...

When you get 50 bajillion of these things making noise at the same time they are deafening

When you get 50 bajillion of these things dying at the same time they stink


now the tree's are dying where the 50 bajillion cicadas did whatever they do to deposit their eggs

Glad the plague is almost over

Pretty soon now you should start to see the cicada killer wasps. They look like super sized yellow jackets but are petty harmless, unless of course you're a cicada. Our property usually hosts a good sized colony beginning late July/early August. I will get some pics out when they start burrowing in the fairways. They leave good sized holes that look like something a mole would leave behind.

So the deal is that it takes 17 years for the eggs to hatch but each year within that span your getting eggs hatching that were laid 17 years prior?
