Somewhere up in the oak right now, a bug the size of your thumb is making a sound you can hear two streets over. Most people call it a locust. The name has been wrong for four hundred years.

When colonists first heard periodical cicadas emerge by the millions, they reached for the only word they had, the locust plagues of Scripture. But a locust is a grasshopper. It swarms, it travels, it eats fields down to stubble. The dog-day cicada does none of it.

The one screaming in your trees this week spent years underground drinking root sap, then climbed out for a few loud weeks in the sun. Adults barely eat. They cannot bite you and cannot sting you.

That sound is not a warning. It is a countdown clock, and it runs out in September. 🌳
