If you were already dreading North Carolina’s summer sounds that are annually created by crickets and frogs, then it might be time to invest in a good set of ear plugs.

Hiding right beneath you this entire time, there’s a fleet of insects that are finally ready to emerge from the ground after a long seventeen years.
