Cicada concert is playing
Cicada concert is playing
Our 13 year brood hatched out last nite. Something between 500,000 and one million per acre. I have 20 acres and I'm in the middle of the zone in the MS county map below.

Re: Cicada concert is playing
My first thought was Tinnitus. I get to listen to a concert of crickets and cicadas any time I am awake. I actually sit outside in the evenings and listen to the real crickets sometimes to help drown out my inner ones. We should be hearing the cicadas up this way in the next month or so.

I found this guy hanging on my front window this morning. There are two ponds close by and I hear all kinds of noises coming from it in the summer.

Re: Cicada concert is playing
I was actually hoping there might be a few around here. They look like they might make good macro photography subjects. I remember seeing a few in Fla when I was growing up.

If you have a forested spot near by - preferably hardwoods - that's where they'll be.clovishound wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 8:47 amI was actually hoping there might be a few around here.

I'll probably be in the woods tomorrow morning with the new camera. I will keep my eyes and ears peeled.

Re: Cicada concert is playing
Here's a interractive map which shows where the broods will come out in S.C. and around the country. You might have to drive inland quite a ways from Summerville. Also some useful info from the USDA/FS. Watch the temperature for the brood areas. They usually will hatch when you have consistent temps in the upper 70's low 80's.clovishound wrote: ↑Wed May 08, 2024 9:03 amI'll probably be in the woods tomorrow morning with the new camera.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: Cicada concert is playing
We have tree frogs here to serenade us. They were very noisy for a while.
