Not Locusts. This is the 13 year revival of the Cicados. They are supposed to die out in late June or early July. Really is a neat story. They bury for 13 years, resurface and die 2 to 3 months later. If only we could get the Democrats to follow that pattern. Jes sayin!

To my knowledge, you very rarely see them. They die and leave their carcasses on trees. Truely a strange happening all around.

If you can catch some they make great fish bait! The carcases on trees are the exoskeleton they shed as they emerge form the ground. When they die they fall to the ground and rot.

When I was a child, I used to go pick the shells off the trees. Then one day I found a shell that the cicada was not quite through with yet... scared me to death. LOL
One year in VA (think it was '96) we had a hatching and they were all over the deck. We had kittens at the time and they had a great time messing with them.

I am not a democrat / liberal / socialist / nor an independent. I am a conservative with parents who drove us regularly to achieve all we possibly could through excellence in education, not in the government schools, but on our own. However, I do understand your point and will try harder in the future to avoid any words that might send the wrong message. :-) Pleses disregard my use of that word and replace it with "that little crunchy bug shaped thing".

I think the original poster might have eyesight or typing skills like mine and hit the "O" rather than the "A".

Lamont, I was not criticizing, only giving Old Crappie a good reason for what he pointed our as a spelling error. All of us who posted before could have changed the spelling. It was not until OC questioned it that anyone cared. I'm teh worst speller on the site. I apologize if my comments offended you. Sorry

No offense taken. Jes "pullin your leg" a little bit.

that these are Italian -- hence cicados.... Their parents were illegals, but these are hatched here and are entitled to US citizenship.

Cicadas: The sound of summer. Cicadas during the day… katydids at night. Lie with your windows open… hear them. They gently remind you of a different time in your life. Of a time when you rode a bike. When your mom said, “Be back before the street lights come on.” Back to those days when little girls and little boys slept together on the “sleeping porch”. Girls had cooties and boys had boogers. Bare Feet. You could stay up after the sun went down. You could giggle and poke and play in bed with flashlights. When lightning bugs did not survive the night in a jar… into the lid of which you had punched air holes.
Cicadas help me nap… and katydids still sing me to sleep.
The sounds of summer.

I didn't really expect you to agree with me on anything, even when you are so blatantly wrong. If you have ever been to Italy, Spain, or any country speaking Spanish...heck, even if you had taken thrid grade introductory Spanish you would know that in those languages a name ending in "o" is masculine and ending in "a" is feminine. Just in case you still don't get it, think about these pairings....Roberto/Roberta...Julio/Julia...Mario/Maria...any bells going off yet?
