cicada

The noise...

*shudders*

I live out in the country now, and the summer after my family moved here, we had a cicada infestation. There must have been hundreds crawling out of the ground all summer. We still have the holes in our lawn from where the dug themselves out of. That was three years ago.

Today I passed by a field and they were swarming all over

I used to live in Texas and heard that sound very often, especially in the evening in the summer. I kinda miss it (I know I'm weird )

I like how they sound and look, as long as they don't fly at me. there are only a few in the dallas area.

The periodic cicadas spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, emerging only after 13 or 17 years, which may reduce losses by starving their predators and eventually emerging in huge numbers that overwhelm and satiate any remaining predators. The annual cicadas are species that emerge every year.

do they taste good? cause I wanna puke just looking at them. I decided they taste bad during my childhood when my dog (ginger), who would literally eat her own blanket, tried and failed to eat one.

It freaked me out so bad last night that I called out to Jesus to make it stop. He didn't.

I'm not joking either.

They really bother me. I grew up hearing them, and it didn't bother me until recently. I think it's just been so loud lately and there have been so many of them. It's getting to me.

in lubbock texas they used to be way louder. in dallas it's not so bad, just kind of peaceful.

this one looks nice.

One year we didn't get them , so I know how you feel.Rather than being aggravated by the noise, I miss them when I don't hear their song.

lol when i was a kid, i seriously thought stars made noises, then got disappointed finding out it was just crickets and/or cicadas.

 

[JAM2b]

Swords&Sunflowers, how cute!

I went outside again last night and I heard them, but it didn't bother me this time. They were farther away and it wasn't as loud. I think I had just gotten overwhelmed by the volume and continuity of it.

I hate them....


I kicked one (accidentally) while going into work from the parking garage. Ugly critters they be.
