OK BV, here is an advance notice! I will be in Baltimore July 19! Get
rid
of them by the time I arrive in town! Or else you are fired as our pond
keeper!

I'll see what I can do.

BV.

They said they'll all be dead by 4th of July but their dead bodies will
still be a stinkin'! We live on 5 acres of 28-year-old woods with old
growth close by, about 15 miles NW of BV. It's too loud to think. They
aren't supposed to call at night and stop at dusk but when I awoke at 2
am, they'd already started a new day! They're loudest about 9 am. I'm
surprised how many dead ones there are already since they're supposed to
live 6 weeks and just came out a week ago.

Our woods is the reason we have so many cicadas, like by you. I think
they're kind of neat. I sit by the pond and watch them fly around. Saw
the turtle chomp on a couple floaters today.

The pile of shells under my tree is already stinking. I prefer six weeks
of this to everything paved over.

What surprised me was how many didn't come out of their shells, or came
out with defective wings. I hope it's just normal - out of millions of
critters, all won't be perfect. I don't remember how many defectives
there were in 1987.

Well Now - the smell is something I have never witnessed!
And I've lived in cicadas country all my life... plus 73 years.
