Because you enjoyed part 1 so much.

Good luck out running that.

You might want to get an umbrella instead.

Trillions of peeing insects would be enough to send me scurrying for cover.

Their idea of Mardi Gras fun and mine differ greatly.

While bugs don’t bother me, I have to admit I’m glad I’m not in the peeing path of their hatchings this year.

Don’t drink bug pee.
Words to live by right there.

So, yeah.
Have fun with that.
And please remember to blog the event.

Isn’t it a little too cold up there in Maine for cicadas?

We won’t have them here. Looks like Illinois and Missouri will be slammed… with parts of the western south seeing them as well.

If you’re not carrying an umbrella this summer, urine trouble.
Sounds like the cicadas could give the mayflies a run for their money when they start dying.

I love all the comparisons, here, as well. We’ll be treated to a mass of honeydew that will then become a dead mass of insects … but that’s okay, because they smell like nuts. Just in time for autumn!

So…. I may have read another article about cicadas; and, besides learning that I can get a male cicada to come to me if I snap my fingers, I read this:
Humans, too, have been known to eat cicadas, and those who have tend to say they taste like shrimp. The Food and Drug Administration, however, has warned that cicadas, which share “a family relation to shrimp and lobster,” should not be consumed by anyone allergic to shellfish.
Ha!

You can summon them by finger snapping? Too bad that doesn’t work for human males….

We have a neighbor who likes to sit on his motorcycle for minutes on end before he departs, or turns it off to go in the house. Idle time = Loud time. Bring on the cicadas to make a much bigger noise, and I’ll just have an umbrella on hand when I go out.☔

We used to ride. To be fair, you do have let them idle a while to warm up. But then our neighbors are out of audio range so it didn’t really matter.

Feels like a good summer to travel out of the country.

We’re safely out of the pee zone. But for others, yes.

The Mexican cicada clan (cigarras) have descended on Oaxaca. They look pretty much like the ones I used to see every year in Tucson. They seem more afraid of humans, though. Maybe because the local cuisine does include insects? I notice also that the pitch of their song is different.

That’s interesting. I guess I never thought about the different variations… or their aversion to become a stir fry.

I saw one in Costa Rica that had to be three inches long! We don’t actually eat cicadas down here, just grasshoppers 🙂

So they last one (when I was in Cincinnati) I had a Cocker Spaniel pup who loved to eat them, until they made him sick, but all that came back up was the eyeballs, hundreds of them. Yes, he obviously ate way more than we knew, but still….
