I’m 80 years old now, but I remember when I was a child I lived in Virginia and we had cicadas that swarmed must’ve been in the late 40s early 50s, as kids, we went around and collected all the empty shells from the larva stage. They were all over the place telephone poles, trees, bushes everywhere it was amazing. .
A few years back, here In Atlanta, Georgia, I stepped out of my car and saw movement at the same time I heard bizarre buzzing. I LEVITATED! Well, not really, but I thought it was a rattlesnake. Turned out it was a cicada that had flipped onto its back and was spinning in circles and making an ungodly racket. Yes, it scared the pudding out of me. 😱
@@joanfrellburg4901I remember no AC, 100 degree temp, 100 percent humidity, windows open only to wake up hacking, coughing trying to get your breath because of the DTP poison fogging trucks not warning us they were coming. Cancer........? 😮😮😮
@@damdamfinoI can see no one ever had to hang their heavy white sheets out on a clotheline only to have those bugs bomb you and ruin your clean bleached sheets. We didnt have driers then! Our sheets/clothes were bleached Brite white by the sun. Not crummy grey looking like the dryer makes them. 😢
Can't wait. There was a good number of them out last year around here. My birds were a riot to watch chasing those blasted bugs. Then the fight is on when they catch one cuz they're so big. They get torn apart and eaten in the frenzy of chase the chicken with the bug. lol
I'm in Savannah and heard them early this evening. They remind me of my childhood in Louisiana. The sound of them is peaceful to me. There is no preparation you can do for them, because they are as much a part of nature as any other creature on earth. The only thing you can do is sit on a porch swing with your favorite beverage and enjoy the sound of them as you relax and swing to their beautiful song.
Almost turned this off then saw Dr. Sammy Ramsey - love this brilliant man! Saw him speak at a local event last year and he is not only knowledgeable, he’s also funny and kind. I learned so much and was fully engaged - didn’t want it to end. His passion is contagious. I appreciate him greatly.
Ikr?! Every autumn I’m grateful for the silence, but then miss them again after a week 😂. I live in the mountains of north Georgia and wow are they intense here! Hope you are having a joyous Spring 🤍🙏🕊
@@linnaeusshecut3959 Yes! And i don't know how many times as a kid i would scream for my parents at night because i was convinced there was a cicada in my room. I loved the little bugs, but I also the most neurotic child 😂. They would check everything, though, and say no, the cicadas are just throwing their voices 🎤. Happy Spring, y'all! 🤍🙏🕊
The thing is this year's batch was born 17 years ago. The ones born 16 years ago will be out next year. The ones from 15 years ago the year after that. See them every summer, no big deal.
If you are afraid of cicadas, don't drive with your car windows down. People sometime freak out when they inadvertently end up inside their car, & in a panic will have an accident. They can't bite you, but their legs can cling to you like Velcro.
Im 73 now but I remember when I was a kid, my aunts cat had a cicada lock on the aunts cat lip…..they couldn’t get it off and they had to cut the bottom lip off. Cat lived many years after that…..
Born and raised in southern Virginia...these bugs were part of my childhood. We called them "Dryflies" and used to enjoy finding their shells all over the farm in trees and bushes. Just today...we found a couple dozen around the house. I love the sound of them. I'm going to walk around the old farm tomorrow and see how many shells I find. I don't know why some people panic over them...I mean...this isn't something new...LOL!
leave them alone.... they are our BEAUTIFUL songsters of Summer❤❤❤❤❤ i love them so much they are peaceful,,,, and placid and NEVER SWARM. i live in new orleans... we get them every year and we love their beautiful song and essential place in our ecosystem.❤❤❤
omg you obviously never experienced a true swarm of them! They can totally take over an area crawling everywhere, landing in your hair, smashed all over sidewalks and roads, the sound gets piercing loud it hurts, you cannot even hear the person next to you talking.
You're speaking of the annular cicadas. Those make the sound of summer that make up a background sound. These two broods will be so loud that you couldn't have a normal volume conversation with someone standing right next to you.
Different people specialize in different fields. I would be willing to bet that the vast majority of bug experts are pretty ignorant in the field of medicine or farming. The good thing is we can go to a doctor and get expert medical advice for our particular issue instead of going to school for a decade to learn it ourselves. We can go to the grocery store and get some vegetables without having to have started working the land a year ago for some carrots and tomatoes. Next time you eat a fruit from the other side of the world or read a book that was written 100 years ago or turn on your air conditioner, you should stop to appreciate that all people are not at the same level of knowledge in all fields.
What annoys me is about 13 years ago they said “they will match up for the first time in 100 years!” During that year, the local scientists asked us to report our own findings to help them keep track. That’s how real that was. So, I guess it has only been 13 years since they last matched up. And what’s also is annoying: I see cicadas every year, some years more than others.
Grew up in Illinois, never forget coming home to find my front door covered in them, you couldn't see the door, harmless insects but just all over the place
The platform for this kind of information is a web page with graphs and maps that show immediately what we want to see rather than slogging through a 15 minute video to get the information.
I remember them from when I was a kid and they are disgusting. The shells are everywhere and after a time they start to smell. You literally have to use a shovel to scoop them into the garbage. The cicadas smash against the windshield of your car, and you can't see through the smeary mess. My mom used to walk with an umbrella because they would fall from trees. And you go insane from the noise. I'm so glad I live in an area where there aren't cicadas. They are awful.
I'm shivering just thinking of the amount of these insects coming to Illinois. Yesterday I went to a deck at work to have my lunch and one of the first cicadas flew nearby. I took my bowl and got back to the office as soon as I could. And the trillions of them are coming... God, help me not to get a heart attack
I'm in my early 70's but I remember as young kids we'd take the empty shells off the tree trunks and stick them to the backs of the unsuspecting, then laugh at the crunching sound made when they sat down! Trick was played by all to all - we had a blast!
If you are taking your pet outside - use a harness and muzzle so it can’t eat the discarded shells - that was they can’t eat a lot of them and possibly get sick. They are not toxic but eating a lot could make them throw up. Cats would love to catch them and eat them - Keep you pet safe.
I can only imagine the amount of white noise that residents will need in order to sleep and keep their sanity. I feel bad for the homeless who won't be able to escape the insane noise.
Dr. Sammy Ramsey is super cool, and he sounds like he should have his own nature channel. If he hasn’t done so yet. I’m a 60 year old white dude from Montgomery, Alabama. I grew up in a small town outside Montgomery County, and my family and I lived near the woods. The sounds of cicadas during the late afternoon were what you’d hear--that’s simply part of the Deep South during the hot months. I’m now living in Spokane, Washington. I haven’t heard anything I’ve been here.
Damn….I live in the path😏Better enjoy the peace and quiet while I can. I’ve experienced them before and the constant sound was nerve wrenching. If it is worse, then, I will go out only if I have to. Last time for me , they freaked me out. I had holes all through my yard, they were shedding their skin/shells🤷♀️on my screens. All over the sidewalks, I would use an umbrella, for fear they would fall from the trees on me…😂😂 And, they were bigger than I expected, it was like a horror movie.😂. Well, I hope they don’t stay long…..I will be in my house with ear plugs. They creep me out..
love them, they aid in re aligning the frequency of the planet. all is in order when they come. we all have our jobs to do on earth and the cicades are here to serve earth. Leave them alone and enjoy the 'frequency' they bring us.
Yes. I also find it interesting that they came in the year of 2024. 2+0+2+4=8, which symbolizes abundance, balance, and success. We also need the frequency cleanse.
My mother in law, who lived in Las Vegas, had them everywhere when we visited. She had two dogs that loved to eat . The shells sounded so crunchy that it gave me the ebiejebies. The shells were floating in the pool and we had to skim the pool two to three times a day.
Sure in small amounts it's nice. I hope for your sake you don't experience a hoard of them, it can get insane with them everywhere and the sound can be piercing, you can't even hear someone talk right beside you.
That is a lot of cicadas. They're going to rent all the hotel and motel rooms, clear the shelves at 7-11, buy up all the beer, traffic jams, sleeping in the park, on your lawn... what a mess.
Thought it said trillions not billions. The Locust plague. The best thing about these critters is that they don't bite. Imagine a trillion insects seeking blood esp from humans. There wouldn't be trees.
Don't mean to burst your bubble but these critters have been keeping me up at night for the last two weeks just north of Detroit, MI. Haven't seen any yet. My neighbors are complaining to me like I have something to do with it.
I use to live in the boondocks on a 140 wooded acres with the closest home being a mile away and it was very quiet and peaceful until they showed up and the sound was DEAFENING !!!
OMG they are here😮 NC/VA line Viriglina VA. 3 or 4 days now, each day progress tens of thousands, they're everywhere in all stages of life.....crazy. im 55 ive never seen more one live One at a time and hunted the whole yard as a child looking for a Shell. Thousands of them 😮 craziness 😲
Cicadas r literally the most trusting insect on the planet (maybe a june bug). I was sitting on my front porch smokin and one landed nest me. I reached my finger out and poked its wing and it didnt do anything....so i reached my finger out again and poked it in the eye and it flew away........

The cicadas sound is like my tinnitus in my ears. I hear it all the time. 😂😂😂😂
So that's where my tinitus comes from. 😀
By any chance....have you had tinnitus for 7 or 13 years exactly? If so i have a theory!
Ditto Sometimes I'm amazed at all. I can ignore, I'll just accept it.
I've heard they're making headway on treatment, though.
😅 same
Sounds just like mine too. So I probably will not even notice them at all.
Birds and squirrels will be well-fed.
Yup and most their baby's will be happy an plump...zip zing something else is going to go wild . Wasps an ants is my guess
I will be well fed also. My wife makes a delicious stew out of them. YUM....
I was wondering what would eat them
Yes ,I heard a scientist say , I'm going to study who who whom uses them as food , has a good summer and makes a lot of baby's....

Why use pesticide on harmless insects?! The world needs insects to function well. They are part of precious nature.
They’re not so harmless when they fly at your face like a softball 😅
There was a time pesticide didn't exist. Apparently nobody died. :-)
Exactly but unfortunately some humans don't give two shts about just respecting nature and letting them be.

Her voice, her voice. Explosive. 🎉 how does anyone listen.
Cicadas in my neighborhood sound EXACTLY like a ufo from a 1950s sci fi movie hovering nearby!
Yup, it was like a hum. Not annoying or anything. If you've ever been in FL during Love bug season, you know what annoying is.
War of the worlds is the movie and I’m pretty sure they got the sound effect from cicadas
GA lady here. Love the sound. Love these entomologists getting so excited.

I was working in Princeton 15 years ago, when they came out. It was amazing.
I was introduced to them as an adult and enjoy them and their sound😊
I had one in my living room last year. He was dive bombing me, while I was screaming!!! Scary
Scary yes. I am deathly afraid of June bugs cuz they dive at your head too!!
LOL!
More likely a June bug or other beetle or horsefly. Cicadas do not dive bomb you. Totally harmless. Just LOUD.
@@lilfoot3660 The kind I had in my home was a giant wasp type species. They do dive bomb!!!
Sounds like the movie 'Midway'.....right there in your living room.

When we kids were growing up in the 50’s and early 60’s Daddy would holler for us, kids to come outside and listen to the cicadas!!!‼️

Occasionally I'll see a few emerge in an off year. They have poor timing and miss the mating party. They're pretty inconsequential.
There’s annual cicadas. This video is about periodical cicadas
What a feast for the birds!
It's a little bug that hurts no one or thing and I love listening to them
No you don't.
They're not a problem, unlike the criminals crossing the southern border.
👍🙂 Truth! 💯%!
Yeah they’re harmless
This has been reported every year for the past 4 years.
The birds will eat well this year. Love them bugs, played with them as a kid, the years they came out to join the rest of the world.

Why?
Bears....moistly
Cicadas r literally the most trusting insect on the planet (maybe a june bug). I was sitting on my front porch smokin and one landed nest me. I reached my finger out and poked its wing and it didnt do anything....so i reached my finger out again and poked it in the eye and it flew away........
June bugs are no more - insecticide
Cicada means summer is here to me.
Fill your windshield washer reservoir.
Its really hard to predict, because there are Annual Cicadas that come out every year.
The nitrate boost cicadas bring to the soil is absolutely huge... Expect an explosive harvest this Year
That doesn’t sound like cicadas. I thought it was that loud buzzing for like 20 seconds. 😊
cicadas taste pretty good too
IKR. My wife makes a delicious stew from them. YUM..... Does anyone want her recipe.?
When it comes to cicadas…..trillions is about average! Evenings will sound awesome.
got windshield washer fluid? they leave BIG splats on your windshield.
fish bait.. the fish will go crazy for topwater when this happens.
Knowing they don't bite, kind of makes them cute to me now.
I might travel to the area from California, just to visit and hear them. 😊
They are mostly heard not seen and are benign.
Quit throwing the “swarm” word around.
No cicadas in Cali?!?
@@dickymiller7196 not that I know of.
@@bovinityleak2066 omg you obviously haven't experienced them in full. Some years in certain places, yes swarm is absolutely appropriate!
Can the two Broods interbreed and create hybrids? If so do we get 15 years cicadas LOL
