Cicadas Are Dumb

Description

I love cicadas. They're one of my favourite bugs and always have been, I love hearing them sing in the late summer. The next emergence of the brood of 17 year cicadas is an event I'm looking forward to greatly (Counting down--3 years left! I intend to go camping!) Also all the ringtones on my cell phone are cicada calls.

However, I'm pretty sure they're one of Nature's stupidest creatures. Good lord.

And they'll scare the everluvin' crap out of you when, late in the evening, they fly into your front door at mach 2. 

 

BONK!  BONKBONKBONKBONK buzzzzzzzzzz.... CHERREEE!  BONK!  Overandoverandover again.  Yes.  Stupid, awesome bugs.

 

I think we're getting our 17-year brood within the next year or so out here.  They hatched out while I was in college in the American Midwest, and they were magnificent!  Black bodies, orange wings, red eyes - my non-bug-o-phile friends thought they were devilspawn. It was such fun!
