the cicada invasion

I can't imagine that! I couldn't leave the house! I dont like
anything that swarms me!

==============================
During the worst part of the invasion I only left the house when I had to -
for groceries! Then I was back inside. When we would open the door to
leave a few would always fly in. I hope I never see anything like it again.
It was right out of a Alfred Hitchcock movie - think "The Birds."

I live in the high desert in Nevada and have never seen a cicada,

as far
as I
know. But we do have Mormon Crickets. These are truly disgusting.

About
2
inches long, they eat their own dead, and swarm over everything.

They eat
it
all as they go, lawn, vegetables, flowers, even the house. Last

year was
one
of the worst invasion ever. We hope and pray that this year does

not
bring the
same.

=====================
I have heard of these crickets or grasshoppers. They sound every bit

as bad
as these cicadas - but the cicadas don't eat everything in their

path. Then
we have dead cicadas everywhere, covered with ants....


Oh NO! Now i have visions of ANTS everywhere!
(I have this slight phobia to swarming ants)

Well fortunately those dead ant ridden cicadas were all outside. We would
catch any that flew indoors and toss them back outside. Anything swarming
makes my skin crawl. :þ
