Haven’t had those before. We had tacos for cinco de mayo
Yep. Sounds like a flying saucer from an old B movie coming in.
If y'all wouldn't cut all the trees down to plant cotton you might have some wildlife. ****
Yes, they are here in Columbus. Arrived a few days ago. For you fishermen, many years ago we had a big hatch like this year and toward the end of the cycle we we had hooks out in the river that weekend. Thousands of cicadas were falling in the river and fluttering on the surface and the fish went crazy. Even the catfish were feeding on the surface. We removed the weights from our trot lines, floated them baited with cicadas we scooped up, and caught more fish of all kinds than you can imagine. So if you fish, be aware that you many have a very unique opportunity in 3-4 weeks.
That's odd. We're not supposed to have them here. We're supposed to get the 2028 brood though.
Worked on a house yesterday in East Jackson and saw my first one. Then last night heard some at my place in Clinton.
You can get isolated pockets outside those counties. I would say anything contiguous to the shaded counties could easily have some.
Certainly makes sense. I'm wondering with sitings in Clinton and southern Madison County if this might be a sign their range is growing.
Ive heard them 24/7 for the last 20 years
LOL I swear I went outside this morning to listen and asked myself "now just how the hell am I going to know when they start ? "
Yes. They just came out and the noise level is quite high. I also saw some flying around today.
I hear people are switching to cicadas now that crawfish are sky high
A few here in south Copiah County. It's loud enough to be noticeable, but not overpowering. Can't see em though.
Yeah, we’ve got cicadas. Last night I heard the first wipoorils this year, too. Love hearing those things-but my dogs hate ‘em…..
Stopped by my in-laws in Mathiston yesterday, soon as I turned the car off I noticed them roaring. Really loud, kinda like what you’d hear if a large industrial pump or fan was blowing a 1/4-1/2 mile away. Driving up hwy15 I could hear patches of them over the radio with the windows up, a little north of Maben. But then driving up the trace to Tupelo didn’t really hear much
Just saw my first yesterday in Nashville, but there are shells all over the place. Just starting to hear them as well.
Tree Huggers would love you.........They love alternatives to real meat..........
