CNN’s headline says it all. But why?
For people that love the outdoors and may head out for a camping trip, fly fishing journey or drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway, the sounds of the outdoors includes insects.
However, the 17-year Cicada hatch scheduled for this year (Brood X) has been delayed due to the cooler weather.
So instead of putting on their buggy-little Baggie Shorts they’re relying on their Long Underwear.
All kidding aside, May’s cooler temperatures have kept the ground cooler & that is where the Cicadas emerge. Don’t worry they’re still coming & the sounds of the trees will be louder than ever across the East Coast but especially in the mountains and hills of our Carolina Outdoors.
