Any of you got these fucking' things this year?

We are getting the 13 year brood this year. Every morning I bet I have 15-25 shells or newly molted bugs on the front of the house. The back door will have 10-15 as well.

My dog will eat them if they make a move but man, they make a shit load of noise.

Here they are coming out of the ground:

All summer long here, in the tree in our backyard, which I'm directly beside. I have to close windows/doors to try & drown the sound out.

I LOVE Cicadas! We get them alot here, but my daughter really loves finding the shells and trying to spot them in the trees. Good times :)

^^^^^^ That sound reminds me of my Gramps old farm house in Wellington, Ohio. He had 55 acres and Cicadas were always around during the summer months. I think they always came around during July or something. Were I was from and still am, I never saw em. Too city of Cicadas I guess. Man I miss that farmhouse.
