AnneTheWriterExactly how loud are the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cicadas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicadas</a> this year?Well... I haven't seen or heard many at all near me in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/AuroraIllinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AuroraIllinois</a>, myself. But sections of the <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Chicago" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Chicago</a> suburbs are already seeing-- and hearing!-- a lot of them. One Facebook friend in <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Warrenville" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Warrenville</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Illinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illinois</a> posted this image of her SmartWatch, which was taking a sound measurement of the ones near her. (She has the red-eyed 17-year brood in her yard.)Another commenter in northern Illinois said that it's as loud as if they're attending a rock concert.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicada</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicadas2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadas2024</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicadageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadageddon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CicadaInvasion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CicadaInvasion</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bugstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bugstodon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Insects</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/InsectSaturday" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsectSaturday</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/InsectsOfTheFediverse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsectsOfTheFediverse</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/science" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@science</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/SoundsOfNature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#SoundsOfNature</a>

PJD65The cicadas have arrived (West suburbs of Chicago). They seem particularly fond of the native plants such as cup plant. Although they are throughout the garden, it's nothing like the pictures I've seen with thousands all over. <a href="https://mas.to/tags/Cicadas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadas</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cicadas2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicadas2024</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cicadageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicadageddon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/gardening" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@gardening</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/insects" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#insects</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bugs" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bugs</a>

AnneTheWriterMy local <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ForestPreserve" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ForestPreserve</a> people have gone <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/viral" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#viral</a> for their comedy here...Even if you're bug-phobic, you can watch this one without worries. No actual <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/cicada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicada</a> images are used to illustrate this "Lifecycle of the 17-Year Cicada" (produced by my local <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DuPage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuPage</a> County Forest Preserve District). There is very good reason why this wacky video is going viral on other platforms, and even earned a shout-out from <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/StephenColbert" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#StephenColbert</a>.<a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicadas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadas</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicadapocalypse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadapocalypse</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicadageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadageddon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/CicadaInvasion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CicadaInvasion</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BroodXIX" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BroodXIX</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Cicadadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Cicadadon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/PublicServiceVideos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PublicServiceVideos</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Bugstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Bugstodon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Video</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/InstructionalVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InstructionalVideo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/BugsOfMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BugsOfMastodon</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Illinois" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Illinois</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/IllinoisWildlife" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IllinoisWildlife</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/DuPageCounty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DuPageCounty</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ViralVideo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ViralVideo</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/Viral_Video" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Viral_Video</a> <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/ViralVideos" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ViralVideos</a> <a href="https://youtu.be/-SmnXlpWmLg?si=JUBYlGZjGmFSwWqt" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://youtu.be/-SmnXlpWmLg?si=JUBYlGZjGmFSwWqt</a>

jiujensu🇵🇸I couldn't fit the video - it's on my Instagram post either way. The phone doesn't do the sound justice, but you get an idea.Here's more on the double brood situation from NCSU:<a href="https://cals.ncsu.edu/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-periodical-cicadas/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cals.ncsu.edu/news/everything-you-need-to-know-about-periodical-cicadas/</a><a href="https://mas.to/tags/cicada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicada</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/doublebrood2024" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#doublebrood2024</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cicadageddon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicadageddon</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/northcarolina" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#northcarolina</a> <a href="https://mas.to/tags/nature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#nature</a>

jiujensu🇵🇸Not <a href="https://mas.to/tags/bjj" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#bjj</a> but look at these <a href="https://mas.to/tags/cicadas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cicadas</a> ! I was in the woods today and forgot how relaxing it is to just sit there still and quiet and watch. It was quite loud out there! Saw them flying, heard them coming out from under the leaf litter, heard the collective hum and individual noises.
