    it depends how high you annoyance level is. Sometimes its really cool others its really annoying. It gets annoying mostly during the day because its really loud.

    from what ive looked through there's been no evidence of cicadas in California. So i don't think you'll be seeing them unless you happen to travel to chicago or someplace in the midwest during the summer months.

    Sorry to break it to ya but there are cicadas in Canada the same three species that are in the Midwest and Eastern U.S

    i hate cicadas.

    every so often i need to clean off our trees.

    yes, i know.....cleaning trees

    they attach onto the tree and do the little thing where they leave there shell, so our trees get covered in clear cicada shells......

    yeah the cicada shells do get annoying only when you get the 17year brood. Any other one and its pretty quiet out even with 3 or 4 singing outside.

    I don't understand why don't you just eat them.. You said it yourself they're healthy.

    actually June is the prime month during the summer for the cicadas after June there will be very few left.

    Because you can only eat them when there still in their larva stage which only lasts a day or two.
