Absolutely nothing going on. Nada, null, zero, zip… But, all things considered – this is not necessarily a bad thing.
As the weather is want to do in these parts – it sprang from winter to summer – missing spring.
And, we await the cicadas from Brood 2. There is still plenty of unpaved land around us. Land much like it was 17 years ago. We should have lots of those red eyed bugs. Last time we had lots of cicada it was Brood 10 in 2004. And we were downsizing, thinking about selling the house etc. Don’t know if the cicada will fly up to us. Will find out soon.
The 17 year cicadas are an east coast thing. See WikipediA We complain about them – but actually rather enjoy them. We also have “regular” cicada. They are smaller. And don’t have red eyes. There aren’t as many of them either. Brood 2 can number 1/2 million per acre. And they are not small. In a well treed area – they will sound off at about 90 decibels for a couple of weeks.
