RE: My daughter found a Cicada shedding his shell!
I love this @ironshield. Growing up in the deep south, the sound of the
"Locusts" (as we called them) making that distinctive sound in the
Evening was one of the most calming things for me. I love it then.
Unfortunately, now I suffer from severe Tinnitus, so I basically
Hear that sound 24/7/365 and it is maddening. Those
Cicada's can bite too, not venomous, but just as
A pinch sort of thing, so beware. Post upvoted.
I'm sorry you have Tinnitus, that must be aggravating. The Cicadas are quiet in the morning, but as the sun heats up the day, they start their buzzing. I didn't even know that Cicadas lived in Michigan! Thank you for your comment.
I'm sorry too, believe me.
You know they have a weird life cycle, right? The one you had, if you put it
Back would mate, then burrow into the ground around a tree and lay eggs,
The Pupae then come out in 7 yrs and molt like the one you had. And the
Cycle starts over.
I wrote a short poem about "an Evening in S Ga" or something like that
In which I incorporated the sounds of the cicada, whippoorwill and
Other things.
I'll try to find it and tag you.
It may be that the warming weather is allowing their range to
Move Northward @ironshield.
Here is that writing @ironshield, I tagged you but I'll post the link here.
I'm not trying to spam your post.

Thanks for your reply and thanks for the link, I'll be sure to check it out. We just found another Cicada just today. It flew away from us.
