Or "Swarmageddon," if you prefer.

Possibly up to a TRILLION (yeah, a trillion) cicadas are set to emerge from the ground and hit the East Coast. The estimate is that, from North Carolina to Connecticut, there will be about 600 cicadas for every one human being. They also make a lot of noise, so it's going to be loud. Enjoy the cicada party, East Coasters!

Awesome!!!!

I hate bugs , I don't even like them on my computer. The house will be heaven for the next few weeks

Supposedly Long Island is going to be spared from the worst of it.

I think Western (and Piedmont) NC have more to worry about cicadas than here in Eastern NC (where I reside).

For your sake I hope so.... those things are noisy!

Those bugs are gonna get a lot of birds real fat.

Are you thinking of crickets? These motherfuckers are loud :lol;

GOD NO!! I cant stand a cricket!! i will hunt that mofo down till i find it!

I love the Locusts song! Nothing better than a lazy hot summer evening just listening to them while enjoying a cold drink..

When we werekids, we would go on hunts in the late summer and find their "shells" still clinging to trees after they had molted..

so cool.


insects are the true rulers of our planet

yeah those male ones looking to have sex by singing are kinda noisy

I say:

capture 'em all

fry 'em all

eat 'em all

Just wait for the Zombie Apocalypse.
