Has anyone noticed the noise of the cicada lately? There must have been an impressive hatch.
My mate Badger took this picture hope he doesn't mind me sharing it but bloody great photography.

I took this small clip at the river tonight but the sound doesn't even play the part with the speakers up.

Cunts of things. When I was hunting for 4 days in early jan you couldn't hear shit over them, mate keep grabbing them and throwing them at me too. Also went up to a farm last night and theres a bit of a drive through bush and they were still making shitloads of noise
Flyfishing definitely, very good. Think of a humpy pattern, tied in olive deer hair. There are some pretty cool foam pattern out as well.
Have you tried a live one on your spinning gear ?
No but had luck with this.:cool:

Can hear them when driving at 90-km on way home and to work with the window down a couple of inches. Must be a kazillion of them out there. Have noticed a number of the shells around home. I don't think we are anywhere near as dry as we were this time last year
They sure are loud this year - they seem a bit late but usually start February.
Has anyone got a theory that they go louder if they start later in the season? Maybe some kind of compensating?
Has anyone else seen the huge dragonflies out over the past month or so?Attachment 20587
These suckers were nigh on 150mm long, a week or so ago in Wgtn
I think you are going to need a bigger gun than the one in your avatar
Barefoot :pissed off: I have spent a lot of time and money with a counselor trying to get over those little fockers from a trip 4 years ago
We have a large section of poplar trees near our place, currently infested with the fucking things. Non-stop from sunrise to sunset and then last night they just started kicking off at about 0100.
Seems that they've followed me to work as there are is a plague of the things in the trees outside of my office.
17 years from now we'll be knee deep in them:O_O:
Walked the dogs in the cemetery this morning and what a racket. The residents weren't complaining though :D
Yeah but the parties there would wake the dead, they really like to shake them bones.
Waikumete?
Got a nice dried flower arrangement from there for the mrs on Valentines Day
All cemeteries have a fence around it cos the buggers are dying to get in there
yip Waikumete, only place cool enough to take the dogs at the moment, and have a chat to the rellies while I'm there :).
They have been poisoning off the rabbits lately too so less distractions for the dogs.
Next time your walking the dog, take a weedeater
Rabbits and Cemetery go together
Last time we were visiting rellies in the Roxburgh cemetery trying to find where the gold maps were as well as other cemeteries in Teviot area and Waikaia there were quite a few holes
I was thinking about a bit of roundup around my great aunts spot, or maybe a flamethrower after some rain :fire:
Actually make that my Great great Aunt.
this thread has died:D
You are right. They are noisy fokkers at present. Took some old building scraps to mates "burn hole" other day.
It deafening down there. They make a huge racket !! No open fires allowed I know. Man I wanted to start one though he he he ...
And they are on TV tonite 10 30. Paul wankybollocks Henry. I ll be snorin no doubt someone fill us in ha ha @Dundee Barefoot
Cheers @Happy what channel would that be?
TV3
Definitely cicadas. I've had a brief poke around on the 'net to find out why they are making noise at night, apparently can happen near artificial light sources or if they're overcrowded or if the weather's hot.

The NZ ones have a 3-5 yr cycle , the longest are some in the US , at 13 & 17yrs , but a lot at less yrs than that
And of that 3-4 yr cycle only 3-4 weeks are spent above ground .Makes interesting reading
