Cicadas

The cicadas from "Brood XIV" are here and they are noisy and disturbing. Here are some on one of my weeping willow tree. They are all over the place and are so loud that you can hear them even when you are mowing. It is a constant roar that will drive you crazy after a while. Thank goodness they only come around every 17 years. Of course there are other broods that hatch out in between, but I have never noticed any as bothersome as this brood.
