Calling them the Bourbon Brood here in Kentucky. I can hear them. Thought I was seeing June bugs tonight. They will be in 14 States. You hearing them yet ?

I hear cicadas 24/7. That’s my tinnitus.

I have this too. Only time it goes away is when I'm not listening.

In the last few days I heard the first cicada of the season, and saw our first fireflies last night. Also saw a monarch butterfly.
(East Texas, near Tyler)

I haven’t seen a firefly in more than 50 years. Used to see them all the time when I was growing up in rural Nova Scotia.

No cicadas around here. But just up the road about 6.5 miles at my friend's house it's crazy how many there are!

Firefly/lighting bugs should be showing up any day now. Still a little cool and lots of rain now.

I have a lot of cicadas at one place and they just about killed a pink dogwood boring into the branches.

There are a few firefly's around and some June bugs.

Still no cicadas, but the first fireflies/lightings but were sighted.

Summer is here, caveman TV ( bon fire ), cold beer, crickets chirping.

I have not yet seen a single cicada. Maybe it's my ears. They are supposed to be here. Outside, it sounds like them.

Very loud here too. Birds haven’t touched their feeder since Cicadas arrived.

Reminds me of getting new hearing aids last year.
My wife used to say, “Can you hear those damn cicadas? They’re really loud.”
Well, no I couldn’t. “If you say so sweetie.”
AFTER my new hearing aids they were loud and clear. I told the guy that programmed them, “Good job on that one. Thanks a bunch!”
