To the Fairfax County Community,

I'm sure by now you have seen (or at least heard) our 17 year cicadas. I certainly haven't taken any meetings outside because of the sound.

It's been fun to see the creativity of people across the County making the best of an odd phenomenon after such a stressful year. VisitFairfax has been celebrating with Cicada Bingo and Fairfax County Health Department's entomologist by day, hip hop artist by night, MC Bugg-Z (Adam Lima) self-produced a rap and video about Brood-X cicadas. You can watch the video here.

Below, I included photos of the kids of two of my staffers with some of our cicada visitors.
