Is this a year of the cicada emergence? Why are we seeing more of them?

Even if this is supposed to be an off-year, why do we see more and more of these pests every summer with their obnoxious song? Some of us want to sleep!

    When I lived in Texas as a lad, we had them every year. Loud as hell, a hundred times louder than crickets. It was just a part of summer. I've never heard one here; where do you live?

    Funny bit of trivia; we don't have cicada here in the northwest so, no noise. Also, no fireflies or Hellmann's mayonnaise or good bagels or...

    Maybe you are hearing either crickets or frogs.
