Very interesting...I have been reading up a little bit about cicadas...as I understand it they have been in the ground for 17 years this time, and this "infestation" is touted as being the worst ever!

Nature has a place for everything, but darned if I can figure what these are for! My understanding is that they stay in the ground til it is time for them to come out... they fly around, eat and breed and then 6 weeks later they die. Then in a decade, their "children" come out to play!
