    It's not bad. These cyclical broods are so important to wildlife. Really a blessing to be honest.

    I live in one of the first areas to see them this year, the birds really started going crazy and have been for 3 weeks now. It's like a free buffet and they made sure to make some unique noises when they first heard and saw them.

    3:13 People calling the sheriff because of insect noise? What is he able to do about it? How are a leap year, eclipse, and emerging cicada broods considered related to the sheriff? Odd comment.

    if anyone's wondering 1 trillion cicadas would take up approximately 90,451 football fields.

    I think it's pretty neat, in my area they have been singing for a little over a week. It sounds like a spaceship 😅

    I can listen to Slayer which is more thrashing than cicadas.
