The Baton Rouge brood(XXII)is expected this year. Our area only has annual ones, so I've never experienced the sights and sounds of a periodical emergence. Here's a map.

We were in Tunica Hills last weekend and they were so loud it sounded like an alien invasion.

I haven't heard them too much around BR yet.

Here's one right after he crawled out of the ground the other day. Still had dirt on him. There were hundreds in my yard just like him.

Here's one the next morning. He was tired from molting and didn't really move for an hour or so of my children playing with it. Then he got his shite together and flew. Took a while to catch him in the house. Wife was super-excited.

My chickens and my dog have stuffed themselves the past week on these loud bastards.

Bastards are annoying. Noticing they are eating leaves off my trees and corn stalks.

The sheriff dept has gotten several calls about them. Most complaints are people saying they hear a siren sounding, alarm, transformers buzzing, or wanting to know if we are gonna spray for them. Damn people move to the country then freak out when they step in a little cow shite.

I know this has been addressed, but who makes a map with different symbols but does not include a legend.

That is map making 101, seriously, you learn that the first day about maps.

So, there is a 2015 brood near me, but I will have to drive a bit to see/hear it. May do that today at lunch.
