    I remember in the 85 or 86 ish one, I was in Maryland, the cicadas had a bunch of different eye colors. We would trade them.

    *shrug* they don't last long enough to be a problem IMO. Lived around a couple hatchings of them. Meh.
    Human progress isn't measured by industry. It's measured by the value you place on a life.

    Just, be kind.

    oh hey, just learned that a cicada actually can hurt you.

    they can mistake your arm or whatever for a tree, and pierce you with their thing they use to drink sap. apparently, it hurts. they don't do it in defense or aggression, only when they have calmed down and realize they don't have to flee.

    I remember cicadas to be loud and harmless. There are more creepy things out there. Really.

    A little creepy



    The larvae have these grasping claws which is creepy, IMO.

    Meh, I always like them when I was a kid. You could use their molts as the bad guys and have enemies for your lego armies to fight. Now the sound they make just reminds me of childhood playing with legos.
