Its range stretches from Georgia, west through Tennessee and to isolated pockets of Missouri, north along the Ohio Valley and into Michigan, and east into New Jersey and New York.

Let the noise begin in just a few more weeks. :frown:

I like my non-screeching-insect-infested state.

I actually like cicadas. Lets you know that summer is on its way.

They make an interesting noise when the lawnmower runs over them as well.

That is the sound of summer to me. I actually like it.

Regular Cicadas are fine, but when you talk about this group, they average something like 100 per square meter. It is actually deafening.

EDIT: I read it wrong, acre = meter.
