[AT] Too quiet

Cecil,

The temperature seems to make a big difference in Cicada activity.  Also,
it appears to me that cicadas must not move very much before laying eggs. 
The result of this is that there are pockets of dense population (almost
deafening to hear) and other areas with little population.  Of course,
habitat (or lack there of) plays into this as well.

Around here, cicadas can be heard every year but not on the same scale as
when this current brood emerges.

	I am curious about these locusts and why the activity seems
so patchy this year. I had the feeling they came out about the same
time all over. Maybe the rain held them up.
