Billions of Brood X cicadas — and their buzzing sound — will soon emerge across Indiana

[bwframe]

Brood X has emerged in full force. Now, when will the cicadas go away?

Trillions of periodical cicadas are tunneling out from their underground homes for the first time in 17 years to mate, loudly. Your questions, answered.

Billions of Brood X cicadas — and their buzzing sound — will soon emerge across Indiana

Indiana will see one of the densest populations of cicadas, though they provide no threat to humans apart from being included in novelty dishes.

My old walker coon hound loved them things he would eat them until his belly bulged. It never hurt him so I guess you can eat them.

They say they are in the shrimp family. I'd never guessed that.

Squirrels, turkeys, and fish love them. They can have my share.

Yes 17 years ago at Sweetwater lake in Brown county caught very large bluegills and red ears on them. Back then was hoping I would live long enough to try it again, looks like I made it. Fish on!

I have a few 17 year old bass baits somewhere that mimic the bugs.

Looks as if mother nature is messing with BroodX, and asparagus, and crappies on the bed, and everything else ground temperature dependent?

Damn global warming!

I've heard them every day for the last 10 years in my right ear. I guess my left one won't mind but will be happy when they are gone again.

Sunday I wrapped my most vulnerable tree in window screen as that is all I could find that would repel an insect the size of a cicada. This morning I learned the 'experts' say to not wrap them until you see evidence of the bug, so I took it down. Think I'm glad I did as a week in that netting will probably kill the tree.

I was sent these pics Sunday. Taken in BC state park. I have yet to see any cicadas, but keep seeing random holes in the ground from all sorts of critters emerging.

 

[bwframe]

I think we'll be hearing them before long. Neighbor lady sent me pics of the shells they come out of. I've seen a half dozen of these shed shells in the garden.

I have let my grass grow to knee high. When I first hear them. Bush hog followed by a finish mower......I will slaughter them by the thousands.

Apparently they emerge when the soil temp hits 64 degrees. The Evv local forecast for the next week is mid 60s for lows, mid to upper 80s for highs. Yeah, They're a comin'

Birds are finding them here. Headless one on my back porch...
