They would have to wear fur coats to survive here right now.

No. It's still freezing at night here. Two more nights of it, then we can plant our annuals outdoors. The ground isn't warm enough yet.

I thought those noisy buggers only came every 7 years?

TV said in central NC we will get our cicadas in 3 more years.

I can relate. Live in a hole in the ground for 17 years, come out, raise he//, mate and crawl back into your hole.

Sounds like me except the mating part!

Indiana has 3 broods of 17 years cicadas and 2 broods of 13 year cicadas. Two of the 17 year broods come out a few years apart and are widespread statewide. The other 17 year brood and the two 13 year broods are only in a few places in the state. Interesting critters.

Except the don't mate and crawl back into a hole. They mate then die.

You read about that in older men sometimes.
