Or maybe it was 17 years? There was a lot written about them earlier this summer, and now I've forgotten how often they appear. At any rate, I'm not sure what happened to them, because I haven't noticed any more than usual Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01384059342847120951noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-25348270786906746042011-09-11T21:01:47.872-05:002011-09-11T21:01:47.872-05:00I do love the SOUND of cicadas, but a pile of crun...I do love the SOUND of cicadas, but a pile of crunchy shells is so gross!

We have lots of them too and very noisy in summer but not that much as yours. I just know they stay very long in the ground and live so shortly above the ground as adults. I see 3 kinds here, the bigger green ones become noisy at dusk, but those common greyish ones are alive during the hottest part of the Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06044386271018560595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-2417262177379846382011-09-09T17:11:00.695-05:002011-09-09T17:11:00.695-05:00Those 13 year Cicadas were really in large numbers...Those 13 year Cicadas were really in large numbers this summer....now it is the regular (annual) ones are singing and making their presence known.

Yup, that ole Rog is turning in to a hippie now I tell you. He promised me would when he retired. Ha. <br /><br />Lola, Very noisy.

One year when we were at your place they were out and busy but it was the first to middle of August so I am wondering if they are late this year of early the yea we were there. It is easy to remember when we were there as we were there for your graduation when you got your masters and graduation was on your birthday.Jean Merrimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10135474696468199060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-88417427874217717452011-09-09T09:08:45.905-05:002011-09-09T09:08:45.905-05:00Good morning all.

Probably so. I have been noticing the skeletons showing up again around here. Nothing like back in spring though. Sad thing was with the Periodical Cicada, a lot of them had no where to climb once popping out. I found their skeletons all over the ground. But that did not stop them as they dried and flew off to sing their loud songs Skeeterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08222522533934405029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-49962030545243954442011-09-09T06:32:26.982-05:002011-09-09T06:32:26.982-05:00I have seen quite a few shells around here too.
