The enthusiasm of the reporter, the music, the groans and moans of the anchors, just perfect. Bravo!

“Oh yeah… a blast”. The reporter hahaha

Opossums will have a feast.

I have been wondering about the size difference between cicadas and locusts. Boy the lady in this video will swoon if she saw a swarm of locusts. They are 3x bigger and the devour everything in their path. So now I’m wondering if the cicadas are for the feeding all the small critters running around. What an amazing event.

Love the noise!! Reminds me of: "Unbroken Chain" By The Grateful Dead

The noise from them is driving me crazy! It sounds like waves of screeching!

The predators are about to have a big feast.

Oh they're so cute when they're little! Love cicadas!

That tree is naked compared to my tree. Entire property has holes every 4-5 inches in the ground. I have to wear ear plugs the noise is deafening! and pull them off of me before I come in....17 yr and 19 yr Cicada emerging together only every 221? years.....

Illinois seems to be cicada central with 17-year locusts. I don't live there anymore but I grew up in Park Ridge and still remember cicada year 1958, my brother was 7 and was bringing them into the house, sticking them on his face (and others'), on his bed, anything they'd "stick" to and my mom was NOT happy. I remember her saying she was glad he'd be 24 when they returned.

As a little kid, i used to hit the exoskeleton off the trees.

Its fine, its nature!

😊ehen I was little mu paw paw called them jar flies.

The lady in the background is hilarious

It has to be good plant fertilizer right?

I've read that the Canadian geese eat cicadas... Anyone else have some knowledge on that?

Get ready 4 da party 🎉🎉🎉🎉

I get it that you may not like them but they have there place in the world.

Shells .. just there ? Ya okau

are there still a lot of these cicadas around? its July 4th.

Question ... I live in the NW subs. I planted 6 young trees, so I was concerned and covered all 6 trees. It is the end of May and I still haven't seen my first cicada. Do cicadas stay near where they emerged? Is it safe for me to uncover my trees?

Cool😂

Is out today

Oh mai gash

Any hints bro

What kind of those insects? I never see it before

mmmmm delicious

Do they die after they mate?

When Marcus wat day

We know they are annoying, but they're a blessing. They are to remind us that earth is still healthy at the moment.

What's wrong

Its formthe birds

Around here, you don't find cicadas. They find you.

Marcus? Marcus WHO ? Marcus Licinius Crassvs?

All that won't go to waste the predators that eat the shells and the bugs themselves will eat em.

Cicada kller

Can you fry them up with butter n onions

😂

this proves life always finds a way they sleep for years just to come out and have sex and die ....these things always remind me of the movie pitch black witch i am now going to watch tonight

Pestilence …

The news anchor needs to calm down with her sounds of disgust.

I have many videos up

No thank you 🤢

Can we please put some respect on the Periodic Cicidad. The fact both species have not been out at the same time since 1803 and react Benjamin Banneker. Can we do that please? It has become unspeakable how often the regions are left out!

Can reporter just shut it? Don’t be reporter if you can’t act neutral 😠 cicadas are awesome and harmless
