I remember back in the mid to late 90s in Lawrenceville a massive brood hatched.
I had no idea what they were, but the shells they left behind on the 3 pine trees in my front yard was covered so thick you couldn't see the bark.
Scared me to death as a child

I haven't see them like that since.

We'd casually attach a trail of those husks on ourselves from bottom pant leg to shirt neck. Looked like a trail of them .

Mom didn't appreciate.

 

[GT90]

Still a no.

SOOOOOOOOOOOOON.

 

[Milkman]

The sound volume here in SE Putnam is only about half of what it was yesterday

 

[Core Lokt]

I seen a video of a guy coating them in olive oil and salt and cooking them in a air Fryer , said they were better than popcorn shrimp

 

[antharper]

I know my pet leopard gecko loves them

 

[huntersluck]

Went to 4 different counties yesterday only heard them in one area.

 

[livinoutdoors]

I think i have "one" now. Or maybe a couple but it aint a bunch. Maybe more will show up. Dunno. I can hear it and it sounds far off.

 

[Stob]

I'm not completely sure if its my tinnitus or if they have hatched in Emmerson. Now this is really going to annoy me!

 

[JustUs4All]

I have tinnitus really bad and hear "cicadas" all the time. The ones here are different. When they first came out I thought we were being overrun by tree frogs.

 

[baddave]

They are starting to die and hit the ground here in Taliaferro. I just picked up about 15. Gonna see what kinda fish bait they are here soon. I put them in the freezer

 

[dirtnap]

You can head them over the sound of the lawn mower at my place, but I live in the river. Sound like a bayou classic fish fryer running wide open all the time

 

[crackerdave]

They are a steady roar in the near distance here in my little holler.

 

[livinoutdoors]

Cannot hear anything over the sho nuff storms we been havin.

 

[Core Lokt]

Haven't heard any yet but I can hear them over the mower when mowing in the past.

 

[Shotgun1]

Hi Dave,haven't spoken to you lately. Hope you are doing well, Morgan

 

[sbroadwell]

I hadn’t heard any where I live in NE Ga, but I drove down to LaGrange for the rest of the week Tuesday.
Holt mackerel! The are so loud down here. All over the place. Yesterday one was in my office. Flew himself right into the trash can.
Tonight there was a live one on the ground next to my car. He was wiggy, so I picked him up to get a closer look. Fascinating, big red eyes. But the sucker latched onto my finger and I like to never get him off

 

[Liberty]

We are coved up with them here in west ga.

Earlier in the week i was catching about eight small bass and at least the many bream. The bite is now way off. About three a minute are falling in the water since daylight and i think everyone is full.
The osprey are now lifting small, i think bream? Going after the fishes coming for a cicada- seen that twice since daylight. Bery dramatic and loud when they hit the water. The ecosystem is definitely enjoying these bugs. Still loud and active on the hootch south of West Point
