Video: The Cicadas are Back!
A plastic bag full of crawling periodical cicada nymphs that TJ Mathews has collected from neighbors' yards on May 18, 2021 in Takoma Park, Maryland. Mathews is collecting hundreds of the insects -- members of the Magicicadas periodical cicada Brood X -- which he will roast, grind and turn into a protein-rich powder he mixes into smoothies. The cicadas are beginning to emerge in the eastern United States and some Midwestern states after living underground and feeding off of tree roots for 17 years.
Look out everyone, the Cicadas are back and Ann Arbor has our first proof…
This was a video that Brad Maze took and sent to Channel 7 news. As you can see the Cicadas are back and Ann Arbor has become home.
Hey It’s Ryan, let me start off by saying…YES, I was born and raised in Wixom, Michigan although a lot of listeners like to joke that I am from Arizona. WCSX has always been my radio home, I have been at the station since I was a 23-year-old intern, co-host of Big Jim’s House, married with kids. Family and radio are what I love, but don’t get me started on golf!
Like some, I have become obsessed with golf and you can hear all about that on “The Ball Washer Pod” right here on WCSX. One of my other passions is helping out the Vets. Since coming to WCSX I have been apart of raising hundreds of thousands for local vet groups. Other than that, I am a goofy guy, loving life, my family and talking to you on the radio. Ryan writes about golf, family and what happens on “Big Jim’s House.”
