Not that long ago, we heard breathless warnings about the upcoming Cicada Apocalypse. The “rare double brood event” that would swamp us under billions of the buggers. NBC News reported as early as January that the “once in a lifetime” event would begin as early as mid-April.
Well, it is mid May, and I first heard a little cicada singing a couple of days ago. And just saw my first Cidada shell today. Is the end finally near? Or will the local birds simply gear up for more of a feast than usual?
