Brood X Cicada
#2
Question for older posters...

Is it just me, or does it seem like the the cicadas we got in 1987 were way more than what we've gotten since?

I know this makes no sense, as they come back every 17 years so that brood would have already returned once. But I swear it seemed like there were cicadas everywhere. I remember just walking around and stepping on them and hearing a crunching sound, I remember the trees being filled with them. But it seems like they've neber returned in those numbers. (Guess that brood returned in 2004??? Due back this year???)

Of course this could all be in my head too. I was just a kid when this happened, and I probably made into a bigger memory than what it was. Fwiw, I could be wrong on the year, but it was in the late 80's, early 90's. It was when the Snappy Cicada Pizza jingle was around.

Am I nuts, or do others people remember the same way I do (way more cicadas than anytime since)?
