I went on a bike ride (finally) this morning in the park. Just going out onto the 5th floor parking lot brought the first evidence of the cicada invasion - the lovely 1950s spaceship-like humming sound. As I approached the park it got ever louder, though never quite deafening.
The strange thing is that I saw a grand total of 2 cicadas and 1 abandoned shell. I'm sure there were more, but I was zipping by on a bike, so didn't have time to identify a lot of stuff like tiny cicadas.
Returned to the apartment to discover the eerie hum had invaded my living space. Even now, with the iPod playing at normal volume on the other side of the room I can hear the hum.
Coolness. :-)
