The sky is so full of cicadas we can see them on radar.

9. You know what's even creepier than hearing the swarm?

Hearing two of them solo.

There were a couple hanging out on the window screen last night freaking me out. They each had distinctive calls and they were very alien sounding. I can’t even begin to try to describe the sounds. It took a couple minutes to figure out what was making the sounds, by which time I was convinced abduction was imminent.

They are pretty thick and loud out here in Clarke County, especially along the river.
My parents are just over the mountain in Loudoun, and Mom told me they were so loud while she was doing yardwork on Saturday they were drowning out the music on her headphones.😳
