Are you looking forward to the emergence of Brood X, 17 year cicadas this year?
I would love to see and hear them but, unfortunately, I live too far north.
Here is a map by the US Dept of Agriculture showing where they can be seen. Brood X Cicada Map. They are expected in about 2 weeks when the soil reaches 64F.
There are billions of them. If you live in a region that gets them what is it like? Can you drive your car? Do they fill up your air filters and cover your windshields?
I imagine it to be a magical experience.
I might have to take a road trip!
