They came up and started chirping away and then the screeching started. Its going to be deafening. From memory the last one was so loud I wore ear muffs when out in the garden.
Apparently there was a plague in the states, Im wondering it was the same else where??
They come up every 15 to 17 years after living 1m under ground sucking on a root. How do they know when to come up beats me. Now theres skelectons hanging around...

I'd take those everytime, don't like the "creepies" or "flyers" very much at all.

We get clapping cicadas after Christmas every year. They are about 4 cm long and very noisy in large numbers. Fortunately we only get them in ones and twos in the garden.

Brilliant! We get occasional plagues: some summers the air can be thick with flying ants, and one year we had a plague of violet ground beetles (my wife insists on calling them violent ground beetles); they marched en masse on the house, scaled the walls and then all died in the loft.
