If you’re not local to the south and 2" long insects fall on you while outside, do not be alarmed. This is not the apocalypse. It is merely raining cicadas. They are harmless to humans, but important part of the food chain. I promise, there are no verified reports of cicadas carrying off people or pets.

As the adults finish mating, they’ll lay their eggs and trundle off to die.

This is just the tip of the iceberg, early arrivals from the 2024 brood!
