Im not sure if we get them.
Sorta kind of. When I was a kid(looooooong ago LOL) They were called the 17 year locust. The Cicada was what we called the bugs that come every year, and their drone is very loud, too. I don't know about you, but I think of locusts as being the grasshopper type of bugs, and the Cicadas as being the annual visitors to the midwest. The 17 year old version of the cicada if memory serves me right, are a tad smaller than their annual cousins. Call them cicada or locust, they will get your attention this summer................... Do me a favor all, when the locust arrives, start a topic and we will find out what area of the country their invasion is heaviest.
