I have been wondering about the size difference between cicadas and locusts. Boy the lady in this video will swoon if she saw a swarm of locusts. They are 3x bigger and the devour everything in their path. So now I’m wondering if the cicadas are for the feeding all the small critters running around. What an amazing event.
Don't live down south then. That's what the night sounds like. I personally love the noise of crickets and cicada. It reminds me that the animal kingdom isn't the largest of the kingdoms. It's insects that make up most of this world. They may not be cute or cutely but they are highly important for our ecosystem to operate. The amount of protein these critters will supply our furry friends will guarantee healthy offspring this year. The amount of fertilizer they will supply plants will guarantee a healthy growing season.
Illinois seems to be cicada central with 17-year locusts. I don't live there anymore but I grew up in Park Ridge and still remember cicada year 1958, my brother was 7 and was bringing them into the house, sticking them on his face (and others'), on his bed, anything they'd "stick" to and my mom was NOT happy. I remember her saying she was glad he'd be 24 when they returned.
That tree is naked compared to my tree. Entire property has holes every 4-5 inches in the ground. I have to wear ear plugs the noise is deafening! and pull them off of me before I come in....17 yr and 19 yr Cicada emerging together only every 221? years.....
Question ... I live in the NW subs. I planted 6 young trees, so I was concerned and covered all 6 trees. It is the end of May and I still haven't seen my first cicada. Do cicadas stay near where they emerged? Is it safe for me to uncover my trees?
this proves life always finds a way they sleep for years just to come out and have sex and die ....these things always remind me of the movie pitch black witch i am now going to watch tonight
Can we please put some respect on the Periodic Cicidad. The fact both species have not been out at the same time since 1803 and react Benjamin Banneker. Can we do that please? It has become unspeakable how often the regions are left out!
The enthusiasm of the reporter, the music, the groans and moans of the anchors, just perfect. Bravo!
“Oh yeah… a blast”. The reporter hahaha
hahahahahahahaha I think cicada is ccccutee!
Opossums will have a feast.

Love the noise!! Reminds me of: "Unbroken Chain" By The Grateful Dead
The noise from them is driving me crazy! It sounds like waves of screeching!
Remember visiting family in Illinois when a brood emerged as a kid. 63 now and it's the noise !

It has to be good plant fertilizer right?
Its fine, its nature!

As a little kid, i used to hit the exoskeleton off the trees.
I've read that the Canadian geese eat cicadas... Anyone else have some knowledge on that?
What kind of those insects? I never see it before
