Re: Cicadas
We have a bunch here. Friend and I walked over to a park a week ago and they sang louder as we went through their neighborhood, like they were warning the next bunch we were coming.

They're making a racket here in Colorado! I mean really loud -- I bet they're outside the town's decibel limits.

Re: Cicadas
Several years ago, when I was in Nashville when the 13-year cicadas and 17-year ones emerged, the sidewalks were slick with them. When I left, I could hear them over the traffic noise on the Interstate.SportsFan68 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 07, 2023 11:11 amThey're making a racket here in Colorado!

I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.
