Yes it's the invasion of the 17 year itch Cicadas which will be emerging with up to 1.5 million per acre from Georgia to New York mostley along the I-95 corridor. They will be making their mating calls and landing all over vehicles trees, you name it. Estimates are sometime in July, but exactly when is up to mother nature. They are other areas with different time tables to come out in different parts of the country. The last time these were out for mating was 1996. The logic is they will survive in mass but would be eaten in small numbers so they all come out to make sure they survive, and they eat like they are starving.
so what natural predators eat these buggers?
Ive heard a story about locust invasion in China one time and farmers alegedly took ducks,geese and chickens and turned them lose among these locusts,and they took care of them just nicely.
