Cicadas
-
I was channeling my inner @Piano-Dad today vis a vis cicadas (he moves them off the roadway when he's out for a walk)...I was working my way along the sidewalk, edging the lawn before I mowed. I spotted a cicada who was going to get clobbered, so I moved him/her. I figured they had waited 17 years to lose their virginity, and who was I to cut that dream short.
I hope they have a good time tonight.

The cicadas are here. As with all bug related sightings I know this because a student brought one to me on the playground

They're definitely winding down here. Can still hear them, but they aren't as loud as they were a couple of weeks ago. And we don't see any on the driveway or on the bricks on the house.
Haven't seen any zombie cicadas. https://www.nbcchicago.com/cicadas-illinois-chicago-2024/are-you-seeing-this-on-cicadas-in-your-area-it-could-be-a-fungus-that-turns-them-into-zombies/3460833/
Au revoir, buggies. See you again in 17 years.

They're gone, but signs of their recent visit are abundant...and I've been blaming inept squirrel nest builders for dropping chewed off branches on the lawn...turns out it's not the rodents...

Didn’t hear any cicadas this year, but the Canadian Soldiers (Mayflies) have been intense!

We have bonus bugs, courtesy of the cicadas.
Mites:

I had a random bite on my legs after tuning in an area that had cicada swarms. I though a mosquito got me...
Now I have a few more up around my shoulders. Mom confirms the mites are nasty in her neighborhood, where I stop by once a week... At least I know what they are!Way itchy...
