Cicadas

Several people have reported and abundance of Cicadas in their yards this year and have questions about what to do about them.  If you don't see them you will definitely hear them. When I first heard them it was a recent drought year and I thought they were bark beetles eating my pine trees until one fell on me. They are very large.
