Hmmm i was too young to remember the previous invaision. Does IL usually get hit?? Is there a map of how far these things travel? Will i affect my top down driving??!!!

 

I'm glad I don't have bugs like that. Glad I live in the northwest.

 

cool pics, but gross...ugh.

 

they make great treats for dogs....it is awesome to hear the last buzzin' sound.....bbzzzz...crunch crunch....my dogs used to eat about two dozen each...they would get so excited in the mornings to go outside ... I sware they liked them better than their bacon strips!!

 

oh yea..and try getting hit by one of those in the head while racing bikes at about 160mph...they DO leave a mark...I am trying to dig out some pics...

 

Cicadas.......high in protein!!!

 

we call them "locusts" or something like that, around here...

 

I love cicadas. They are fascinating insects. Their life cycle is so primitive, it amazed me in bio class in HS. I don't think that they exist anywhere else where I have been. I only heard about them when I came to the US, which made that much more interesting and romantic to me.

And in addition to their unique life cycle, they sound so beautifully mournful when they sing... and then die.... ahhhhhhhhhh

They are ugly ers though. That

 

Ummm do they bite?
