You think it's loud now?

Ewwwwww. I hate them. I live in Mashpee, too, and I'm glad it's a rare event, as my dahlias have been chewed to heck, as well as some of my other plants. First it was inchworms, then those scary flying rats, and now there's a slug invasion! What next? Is there anything left?

The worst day fishing is better than the best day working. ...Wait a minute, my work IS fishing. Sweet.

I went for my walk this morning at the canal, sounds like we are being invaded or something!!
So many flying around in one area kind of freaked me out! Once every 17 years or so, I am glad I will be dead before they come out again!!

Cicada love ( warning x-rated)

These two went at it with a weird low moaning sound with a few grunt like sounds too.

Right over my gas grill in the back yard.

They did it for at least two hours before splitting up.

Made me feel inadequate. ( I wonder if there is Cicada Viagra?)

Honeymoon is over...

When you get 50 bajillion of these things making noise at the same time they are deafening

When you get 50 bajillion of these things dying at the same time they stink


now the tree's are dying where the 50 bajillion cicadas did whatever they do to deposit their eggs

Glad the plague is almost over
