Is that what these guys are called? Make the nonstop noise when the sun goes down at night time. Why are they so bad this yr? I live near Briar Forest and Kirkwood and they so SO bad. On the sides of the house, on the fence, on the CEMENT by our cars. When will these MONSTERS go away? Im terribly afraid, for my life.
That's a cicada. not a locust. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cicada We used to tie strings around them and fly them around when I was a kid.
Holy ****, I guess if worse comes to worse, according to Wiki I can always eat them. lol Im a pretty heavy set guy so I need to go after them thick ass females!
I think they had a cicada birth cycle on "Planet Earth." Apparently so many were born and die in short amount of time, the forest they die in had a huge growth period due to the fertilization of the ground after they all die.
A cicada is one of those noises that is so familiar, I really don't hear it any more when I'm outside...
When I was a kid and my family went to visit my grandmother in San Antonio, we used to collect armies of there shells. We would seriously cover her picnic table in the suckers, just ones we found in her backyard. They were freakin' everywhere...
The sound of the Cicada makes me remember sitting on the front porch as a kid growing up in L J. We would chase little girls around the playground with the left over shells...
