    Default The cicadas are coming to town!

    Watch out for these bad boys if you live in the east coast of America.



    If you see one, eliminate by any means. These cicadas emerge every 17 years, and when they come, they fight hard. Watch out for bombarding cicadas, kamikaze cicadas. These guys are huge and annoying. The noise they make is so loud that it will drive you nuts!

    EDIT: Also, watch out for their cousins which come every 13 years.

    Are you guys prepared for the worst coming this month? I know I'm not.

    Apparently, I have been declared banished.

    We get them every year. You can wear the shell thingys they discarde as badges.

    THAT WAS LIKE... last last Summer those BEASTS came out!

    O_@

    It was a living HELL for me! I hate bugs, and oh my God they were huge and the first time I've ever seen them.

    My friend and I had to carry out tennis rackets with us to smack them away because they're really stupid and fly right at you. O_@!!!! *thwack*

    Yes, they fly at you trying to suck off your face.

    Maybe they try to crawl inside of your head to lay their eggs.

    I think I saw some of those when I was in Missouri. We got some guy to eat one.

    *stays in California, where the bugs dont come out of cheesy radiation horror flicks from the 50s.*

    Cicadas are friendly chatty creatures and are one of my favourite insects next. One sat on my shirt and sung a pretty song. I feel sad when I accidently did an underground one of them and their eyes are burnt by the sun and they never got to experience life as a real cicada
