You can't hear yourself think outside because they're so loud.... the ground looks like someone's been stomping around in cleats from all the holes where they've dug out, I'd guess 50 more holes in a square foot ALL OVER EVERYWHERE.... every tree/bush is absolutely covered in the damned things & being destroyed where they lay eggs - I took a stick & whacked one of the lilacs and I'm guessing over a hundred flew out... the ground is absolutely covered in casings where they metamophized from grubs to bug eyed flying monsters...

It's awful, y'all. I don't ever remember seeing them this bad before.
