Crickets With Megaphones
-
Every 17 years, the cicadas return from underground. North Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia will get them this month. If you live in the region where they emerge, you will know of their presence. I can remember being kept awake by their loud, incessant chirping when I lived back east. There are two kinds of cicadas, one that comes out every 17 years and the other every 13 years. The good news is that they are not dangerous and will go away. The bad news is that the noise at night will be really annoying for a short while. Close your windows. (USA Today)
