Crickets!?

We have found several grasshoppers in the house.

Even more can be found everywhere including in the waters of Lake Winni.

There are a lot of grasshoppers this year for sure. As well as hornet/wasps whatever they are. I don't know the difference.

Maybe they are grasshoppers. They are grayish in color. Why are they in the lake? And have you seen the cicadas? Many flying around the lights at night and one got into our house. They look like extra large flys!

There are definately more grasshoppers this year. And yes, the cricket sounds at night seem much louder than usual. The things I hate the most this time of year are the yellow-jackets. They don't seem to be any worse than any other year, but they certainly swarm this time of year. I was stung yesterday and didn't even know there was one around.

I heard the cicadas two nights ago on Welch Island. About 9; pm thousands of clicking noises up in the trees.
