the cicada invasion
"jammer" wrote in message ... 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." -- Carol....

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. Shawn ===================== 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) |

We would catch any that flew indoors and toss them back outside. Anything swarming makes my skin crawl. :þ -- Carol.... "Ring bell for maid service...if no answer do it yourself."
