Love those bugs!

Their song is the sound of summer. We have them around very often - almost all the time it seems - in the woods of Pt Washington. I don't want to see swarms of them though - yikes!

The local newspaper said they'll be back. It's just too cold for them right now. I look forward to hearing them again. These are the once-in-thirteen-years type of cicadas, so I'll enjoy the sound while I can. I agree, it is sort of intimidating when they swarm.

EDIT: They're back!
Hubby still has a nasty-looking bite from a yellow fly Saturday afternoon.

Actually I got used to the sound of the cicadas and learned to love hearing the sound. They all died last week, so now I'll have to wait 13 years for the nymphs to re-emerge and hear them again.
