Yes the 13 year cicadas are here in full force. We had a friend drop by the office yesterday. They are really cool looking with the orange eyes and the little z pattern on the wing. Below are some pictures of our friend. Go out to some forested areas and try to find a place with a lot of the cicadas, the sound is awesome and it's an experience you only get a couple of times in a life time. Here is a neat website if you want to see when broods are going to emerge http://www.cicadamania.com/where.html#broodchart
The are also smaller as adults than the typical summer
cicadas. Go check out our noisiest May visitors.
