There are portions of my neighborhood right now where you can't hear a person next to you speaking at a normal volume and the foul stench of piles of rotting carcasses is thick. The fact that several million of these things can emerge in unison every 17 years and then warble in perfect unison in a wavelike manner to maximize volume infers an intelligence far superior to our society today as evidenced by the current state of our politics. It's only a matter of time before they take the next evolutionary step and develop the weapons necessary to eliminate us.

Have the democrats given them drivers licenses yet?
Holy shit that's the funniest joke I've ever heard in my entire life.
They don't need cars silly. They're flying around with complete impunity. Nobody's doing anything about it!!
I for one like the noise of cicadas. It sounds like summer.
I normally do too. This is some next level shit. I have to use a screwdriver to scrape them out of my running shoes before I walk in the house. When gardening they are all over the plants, soil, and you.
What we really need are more political threads, those never get derailed.
I've heard people chanting about building a wall or something to keep them out and making the grasshoppers pay for it but I don't think that would be effective.
I was assured in another thread that volcanoes will kill us all before they emerge in eastern Iowa. So there's that.
Not a peep in Lincoln Park yet. They must be completing their suburban siege before closing in on the city. Will they even bother with the South and West sides?
I did see a couple deformed ones walking around that only had a left wing
It's weird the way it's been selective. Some neighbohoods just a few miles away are more like yours. My neighborhood has had very little soil disruptions over the past 50 years and lots of mature trees. They seem to prefer the areas under and around maple trees. That's where they are loudest and where we're seeing piles of them several inches thick around the base. The sound is even quite pronounced inside the house with the windows closed.
Nobody wants to go to Chicago, brah. Not even the insects.
Say a person accidentally has a cicada land on his penis while he's on a jog... Could he catch this disease?
The county sheriff lives near Solon and he mentioned the other day that the cicada noise is nearly deafening near his home. I have not even noticed them yet in Iowa City.
