Day of the Locusts

Some general pictures, several of these are at a birthday party for one Brian and Evy's friends. We were right by the woods and in the middle of a cicada swarm. "Louder than a train" says Brian which is really true. The kids deal with them much better than us.

5 billion of them in SW Ohio from Brood X will be chirping for the next week or so. See Cincinnati Enquirer. A much bigger outbreak occurred the year before we got here.



Brian falls into ankle deep water. Cicadas are chirping in the background.
