Cicada concert is playing

We are on the edge of the hatch so I am not expecting much. I remember as a kid we had a pretty big hatch one summer and the noise was disturbing. My condolences.

Ours hit hard back in '95. I was working at a 200 acre farm at the time and late in the day, it was just me and the millions of them. If you are outside and feel a tickle on the back of your neck, get ready to swipe him off, lol. The next hit was 2012. That was a light year. Our next one will be in 2029. Our cycle is every 17 years.

I was in training years ago at Millington TN. The cicadas were in full concert form. One morning after a run I saw a squirrel catch a live cicada and eat it. I thought squirrels were vegetarians.

None of them around here yet. We get some every summer mostly in mid June-July when it is hot and humid!

I spent several hours at Magnolia yesterday. Didn't hear a peep from any of the little critters.

I did hear some very loud squealing from the other side of the lake. Don't know if it was a disagreement among some feral hogs, or maybe a big gator wanted bacon for breakfast.
