Looks like Nebraska's out of this.

I actually like the sound of a few cicadas in evenings during the summer. It just ads to the ambiance.

However, I do remember a few years ago it got so loud one summer it was like a low flying jet airplane.
My colleague and I were standing outside shootin' shit and after a few minutes we realized it was so loud we were yelling at each other just to talk. That was in the middle of the day.

I've no idea what 'brood' it was.

I also like hearing them in the Summer, but they can get annoying real quick. I remember one summer I was in Missouri and they were super loud. Never heard them that loud out West thankfully.

Not started yet. Late April to mid-May is starting date around here. It will depend on how warm it is. Need to get soil temps into the mid 60s at 8" deep.

How about Killer Cicadas?

Not killer. Just horny

I wish I had the pun-y mind of @Dolemite censored

In the areas where these two broods are coming out, I wouldn't be surprised to see a dramatic increase next year in whatever feeds on Cicadas.

These fuckers...
