Stop it!

Yes, there are a ton of the “Brood X” emergents, and yes, they make a piercing sound that can sound like an alarm. They’re the loudest insects on the planet and the males meld their calls to create an overwhelming, amplified chorus that captures the attention of females. But please don’t dial 911 to alert authorities about them.More Related News
