Oh, sure. When they're the size of your hand and covering THE ENTIRE WORLD and you keep stepping on them and they crunch and they leave their shells everywhere and they get tangled up in your hair. Reeeeeaaaaal nifty.

;p

Well, I never saw them in numbers during my southern sojourn. Just individual cicadas.

And the hair thing, yeah, that'd be pretty awful.

Yeah, I can easily ignore them when it's just here and there, as it is most years. But every thirteen years they POP OUT OF THE GROUND AND TAKE OVER. It is like a horror movie, I am telling you.

And yes, I was deeply traumatized last time. 5th grade, and I remember after church on Sun./Wed. nights on the playground the boys would shake the smaller trees and THE BUGS WOULD FLY EVERYWHERE and that is how they ended up in my hair.

Still trying to recover.
