This was the 13 year cicadas. There were thousands in our woods and hundreds on our property. They were very loud. Watching them emerge from the shell and change was very interesting. They would crawl out of the ground, crawl up a tree and after a short while they would work themselves out of the shell. They would hang onto the tree while their wings emerged and they changed from white to tan and brown. Then they would fly up into the tree to lay eggs and start their 13 year cycle.
