I have shells on every vertical surface on my house, and have swept probably a couple hundred off of just the front porch. What was a faint drone a couple of days ago is now a constant roar. I'm turning into a paranoid schizophrenic because every where I turn there are numerous sets of red eyes watching my every move.








Everything is feasting on them......armadillos, skunks, squirrels, birds.....every neighborhood dog.





One good thing is that they are a cure for my tinnitus, as long as I am outside.

Central GA has been this way for nearly 2 weeks. They're all over, and maddeningly loud.

I live in north Alabama. My driveway, back porch, back door, etc. looks like Jonestown, the day after. Except the cicadas play the part of the cultists. I’ll post pics when I get home.

My yard has to have hundreds of thousands. Below is what the base of all my maples look like. My kids are dead set on eating some, so I think I'll fry some up and see. Supposedly, you want to eat the freshly molted ones that are still white.

Facts. I was in far SW Arky Saturday at family land we've had for 80 years. Nothing special. But the noise was unreal. There had to have been millions in the tree top woods. We then drove about 12 miles to the deer lease and it was louder. A constant buzz. My uncles and family said they have never heard anything like it. Pretty dang cool hearing it though

Over the last week I have been to several places in 4 different counties here in central Alabama & have heard them here and there

They are not everywhere but the loudest I have heard was in the woods on top of Blue Ridge

Deafening roar that was hard to talk over
