The cicada's are here

[Water Rat]

I stopped at the local deli today and was swarmed by them. I could hear them as soon as I got out of my vehicle. One of those red eyed buggers landed on my shoulder. Maybe I should go back there and grab a few for fishing bait.

Nothing on LI yet. My sister in law was up in Germantown this past weekend and she said they were horrendous. Very loud and annoying and flying every which way.

We had them start two or three weeks ago in Staten Island.  Many are already dying off by me.

It is. But different broods in different areas appear different years. Heres a site with a chart and maps to show you.

I can hear them from my house but haven't seen any yet this year. We live up on a mountain on the edge of a cliff and can hear them buzzing down in the valley but that's about it

I've neither heard them nor seen them in Niagara County yet this year...
