Just wondering if anyone on the US Eastern area have encountered or taken photos of the this year's Cicadas since this is supposed to be one of the largest (Early estimates suggested there might be as many as “30 billion” or “1 trillion” cicadas hatch in the U.S. Northeast this year). Here is an article with more details.
My personal feelings about cicadas is, they make a huge mess of my windshield and they are so noisy they drive me nuts! Other than that, they are pretty cool to photograph.
Yes, we've got an estimated million per acre. The noise level is deafening. These are 17 year Cicadas. You can see their exit holes in the ground every few inches! We're almost done with them at this point and from what I have been reading, I think here in Virginia we have had more than some other places.
@mikegifford Oh no, oh no, oh no! I *hate* these things. LOL. I especially don't like them when they get brought in by the cats. "Hey, Mom, look what we brought you!!!" Ugh. I'll keep my eyes...err, ears...out for the little buggers.
