the sound of the sun's raybeam

For those asking why the report says that the sound hasn't been heard in centuries, you have a brood that emerges every 13 years, and another that emerges every 17 years. So to have them BOTH emerge at the same time and create a combined sound, the number of years passed after the previous such occurrence needs to be a multiple of both 13 and 17, i.e 221. So basically, this phenomenon last happened roughly 221 years ago.

Sounds of the sourh.. growing up in the deep south of carolina as a kid back in the sixties, these were music to the soul and the "lightning bugs" completed the package :)

When I'd lived across the street from a park, the song of the 17 year cicadas was intense. In fact, they collectively sounded like a Star Trek phaser set on overload. At night, cicadas can scream at your windows, too. My advice is to turn off your lights so that they won't attract them.

Pray for rain. We have them here in FL. When it rains they are silent. Moisture and high humidity makes it hard for them to sound off. If they are congregating in bushes or trees in your yard, you can hose them down, very tall trees you are out of luck. Hosing doesn't harm or kill them just makes silent temporarily. They are really loud, louder when in your house! My cat caught one and brought it in the house and was playing with it. Had to wrestle it away from her, it was buzzing all the while till I put it outside.

If you see one crawling out of the ground, grab yourself a beer and a chair and let it crawl to the top of one of your fingers. It will grip on to your finger and within minutes will split its back shell open and start emerging as a cicada. Within 45 minutes it will have crawled out and gripped onto its old husk and the wings will unfurl and start drying out. At this time you can put it next to a tree and the fresh new cicada will climb on to the tree and continue to harden its wings. This was fun to do when my kids were little. It is an incredible show and sure beats social media.

It might be rare in North carolina, however cicadas are all over the Midwest and on both coasts. . . There's usually a 17 year cicada, green cicadas which usually just take a couple months to emerge, and orchard cicadas, etc. If I'm not mistaken, a 4-5 years ago red-eyed / 17 year cicadas we're all over the national news. . . There is even a headline stating cicadas are safe for dogs to eat, because there were so many of them, they were carpeting the grass and trees

I grew up with this noise. I fucking love it.

I love Cicadas - always have. Where I live now, they are limited. I wish I could be in those areas with the rare emergences now. How fortunate those folks are.

I love the sound of cicadas but I live on the west coast now so never hear them anymore.

It's not unusual. It hairball every so many years. The cicadas go underground for years then the emerge to reproduce. That's their life cycle.

In the Bahamas we have them every summer,we call them Singers.

The Bahamas has cicadas? What colors are they?

It's going to be very noisy

Rather a cicadas racket than the crickets. 🦗

There are wasps called "cicada killers" that look like murder hornets, but aren't

Yes we have them in Texas!

It's hard for me to wrap my head around an insect that spends 13 or 17 years of its life in the dark ground and then to only be able to fly and be free for two or three weeks

Now that was news!!! No BS

I loves these cool little creatures,it’s their way of chanting ,kinda of a healing vibration,like cats purring or a Buddhist monk

The ones in Texas are grass green colored on top and white on the belly. Sweet sounds of summer.
