I'm just west of Pittsburgh, PA. I sure do hope that's all it is. I didn't realize how much I enjoyed it until I did not hear it last night. Honestly, I remember having crickets before school would let out for the summer. We'd usually do a camp out before school ended and everyone went on vacation.

Been seeing a lot of birds. Lot of spiders. Tons of ants. and a metric ton of chipmonks. (They ate my catnip, by the way). Insects in general are down, but not gone. Scorpion flies just came out. I did see a male and a female within the last week just chilling out on some American Jumpseed.
