PbFlinger 64 #1 Posted June 16, 2021 Evidently there are a couple of things that sound more appealing to an amorous cicada than another cicada. Since I’m working on her Wheel Horse, my wife was mowing the yard with our Lawn Boy and was getting swooped on by the cicadas. Listening to the hunting governor was driving me crazy, but absolutely driving the bugs wild. She said she kept hearing what she thought was the granddaddy of all cicadas. Well it was me, grinding some welds down on her mower deck. Evidently they’re attracted to this frequency, and the resonating deck acts like a huge speaker. After about a minute of grinding, I’m getting absolutely mobbed by them. I put on a hat, buttoned my shirt collar up like I was going to church and tucked it in like I was still skinny because it was getting full of them. 1 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ours look a little different: Years ago we had the green variety, I know there are different broods and maybe the dark ones have taken over in my area. I went to DE last week and went through an area that really messed up my truck and trailer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
