Attack of the Cicadas


Cicadas have been invading our area for several weeks now. They are these large, red eyed, creepy insects that do absolutely no harm and have no real purpose except to annoy. As Tom and I were running today we tried to predicted how many cicadas we thought would land on us, surprisingly we weren't attacked by that many. They have no problem flying into you when your still, I guess being a moving target was too much for them. The cicada life span is about 6 weeks which gives us about three more weeks of them. After that we can expect them in another 17 years or so. I will be glad when they are gone, however Kaiser might feel differently. He enjoys a cicada snack every once in a while. Yes, that's right...he eats them!
