With all the construction and building in the area, I doubt there will be that many cicadas to emerge.
This is kind of interesting. See those shells all over trees.

It's really going to cut down my riding time this summer. But aren't they only around for a month?No motorcycle rides either. They are lousy flyers. I'd be doing something outside and they would just fly right into me.

This may be a boring story but I thought it was amazing to watch. Cleaning my yard in 96 and saw all those perfect round holes under the oak tree. I didn't know what caused it. Then saw the cicadas on the tree a few days later. Fast forward to whenever all the noise started quieting down and I was doing yard work again. I saw the little tiny babies crawling down the tree and heading into the perfect round holes the adults made to come out. I thought it was pretty fasinating. I love nature things and wish I still lived in that house to watch the ones come out I saw going in 17 years ago.
The cicadas are coming, the cicadas are coming!

"Many nymphs emerge at night and make a mad dash for vertical structures such as trees and shrubs,"
I'm gonna catch me a couple of those nymphs.
Catch a whole bunch and put them in someone's car that you don't like. They'll be driving along when they hatch and start buzzing.....
You missed the double meaning there.
Now I know what all the perfectly round holes around the yard are. I was thinking this morning that it could be related, and now you confirmed it
Neat story. Thanks
