    Never experienced cicadas on that large of a screen. Growing up on the coast I can remember the lovebug swarms.

    This pic is under some red cedar trees but gives you a idea that my yard is areated with anywhere from 30 to 45 holes per sq. yd for the amount of cicadas and they are still coming out. Now the mess begins as early ones are dying and falling out of the trees after breeding. Expand the pic to view closely.

    That is very similar to what I saw at the wooded area we Fished Saturday.

    Been hearing about the onslaught of the coming cicadas all year long. Never materialized. Just now I’m hearing some cicadas, but it’s already Sept. Recall how my friend kept telling how bad the cicadas were going to be this year. Now, I mention it to him from time to time with a grin on my face and a chuckle in my voice.

    Just because you didn’t have them doesn’t mean they weren’t predominate in other areas of Indiana…especially in all the forested parts. We had so many, front car windows driving down our county roads were splattering them even. Your lucky you didn’t have to put up with the thousands as I still have even a few dried up ones here and there in the yard even.

    Default It's now Sept and I am still seeing them flying around the yard

Noise level is highest ever now and I don’t think we have peaked as we just recieved 2.7” of rain,,ground is soft….they are coming up everywhere. Dang things last 6 weeks and will have to put up with them till as late as mid July! I think everybody needs to eat some to keep them from breeding.

    I saw one today fly across our back yard. I have floaters in my right eye after undergoing cataract surgery and then Lasix surgery to correct for an astigmatism. So I see things flying around in my eye all the time. Fruit flies in the house can make me think I'm seeing floaters and floaters make me think I'm seeing bugs flying around my head at times. But this was a big cicada. I was waiting to see a cicada killer wasp swoop down and kill the thing. Those wasp/hornets have stinger that are 1/4" long or more. I got stung by one a few years back while camping at Audubon State Park. I was walking from the museum back to our camp site across an open grassy field when I got stung. And then later it stung my wife on the leg. I saw the dang wasp flying around low to the ground. The females are the ones that sting and there must have been an underground nest nearby. She was just guarding her nest and doing what nature programmed her to do. But man did that sting hurt. I felt pain for two days after I got stung.

    They never really appeared around here though the trunk of my maple tree would say otherwise.
    Never heard them as I expected, a bit disapointed but sure many of you were not.
