I’ve heard a few around Bellevue, but not many in my area of Ross Township. Last year I had them in my backyard and they were quite loud. Don’t know if there are less of them this year, or they are just moving around from year to year?

Those hot humid nights the past few weeks, they were so loud you could hear them over the air conditioner…. no doors or windows open. I collected some “night bugs” for 4-H day campers for their bug camp and there are alot more bugs out at night than you can ever imagine…It’s very busy out there, esp at night. So how do they see at night in the dark?
