Comments on: Cicadas. They’re just harmless little flying nasty looking insects in heat emerging by the thousands.

No one's saying you have to wear a helmet (God forbid), but taking a cicada in the mug at 65 doesn't sound like a very fun time.

If they have I have not seen a single one. I guess they are too scared to be in the East Bluff too. Have these came out yet? If they have I have not seen a single one.

It was horrible. It was like living in a horror movie, with all the huge bugs emerging from the ground, creeping up trees, crawling out of their outer shells as white jelly-like creatures, and then flying around. The noise they make is also an added feature, but I don't mind it as much as the alien birth sequence thing. My mother described mowing the lawn as "juicing" rather than mowing because of the numbers of cicadas she killed every time.

Actually ... I tried to walk in the house, but my wife locked me out and refused to let me in until I removed them.
