Nashville is currently being tormented with so many cicadas. Here’s what im doing

[@PawLet_144]

First step put down a blanket.. That's where the cicadas come from! They come from the ground.

[@definitelyarealturtle242]

I... didn't need to know this.

[@lefywazhere7582]

@@definitelyarealturtle242many come from the ground but many also live in tree bark. I think depending on what species it is, it takes either 7 years or 13 years for cicadas to emerge from their burrow. They are super cool. Especially when you find one of their shells!

[@user-ev8rg1db3u]

very cute

[@Myiic]

@@lefywazhere7582 We are currently going through a cycle where BOTH species are emerging at once! crazy times in Tennessee, and lots of dead cicadas lol

[@ernywalters1333]

Caution: cicadas attract snakes. The snakes wait under the trees to eat the cicadas when they fall.

[@Lauren_DeLeary]

That’s actually really good info since I have a dog. Thank you!

[@faithm9284]

But cicadas come up from the ground. They start in the leaves, then the leaves drop and they go into the ground for years until it's their time to emerge.

Love the idea of the bug tent

[@nikkiponce554]

I live in Tennessee and them dam things were everywhere

[@SuperGigi06]

Yes, they were. I live in Tennessee too

[@lisaflores2016]

Omg ... I feel you they were crazy I couldn't walk outside or walked into a store without them hitting me...😅😢

[@TNRustedRed]

I live 30 minutes outside Nashville and we have zero cicadas.

[@catedid]

Yes, I am originally from Nashville but currently live an hour north in Bowling Green where I hardly see any. But when I go home, WOW! It's bad just an hour south of here! Who would think it would be that different so close to y'all?

[@slashumz1113]

Im 45 min from Nashville and haven't really seen but a couple and I like way out in the country.

[@XXmisskdubXX]

Same! I’m an hour west and it’s all normal here

[@sydneyelle650]

im south of nashville and like three weeks ago they were literally everywhere, could not walk anywhere without one landing on you or running around like a crazy person trying to avoid them

[@Damianmarleyfan]

Just needs one of those small rain covers for tents used to block rain. They are good for sun

[@animemangachic]

We have so many cicadas in Missouri, too. Good idea for anyone who wants to have a tent to sit outside.

[@terekacarter3927]

I live in tn also and we ain't got them problems.. I guess cause it's not a lot of woods around us..

[@mythoughts1763]

THOSE BUGS ARE AGGRESSIVE!!

[@melissacastle5172]

They must have a specific path through Nashville because I am right outside Knoxville, TN near Kingston, TN and I have seen zero cicadas. I have heard none of their beautiful summer songs. Which is so odd considering it was supposed to be the most ever this year.

[@fennec_studios]

Awe! I love this video so much! You're so fun!

[@prophet_corporatementor]

this made me smile

[@rachael8078]

This year was nothing compared to when I was 10. This was easy

[@Hillr2249]

Can't stand them.......where we live there weren't that many.......

[@andrewmclean9358]

Y’all have attacking cicadas?

[@sage5530]

good idea!!!

[@kB5TVP]

Well, the bible rings true.

[@spicytruth8721]

Huge? lol k

[@TheRealMagris]

I mean if you wanted to avoid them you could walk inside (maybe you like the noise). If your actually interested in Cicadas then wait another 13 years. Go into a forested area and try and catch a blue eyed Cicada.
