This is a clip from an article on the soon to be here Cicadas:

“These large, ungainly insects in the genus Magicicada spend either 13 or 17 years underground, then emerge nearly simultaneously in densities that can exceed 1 million per acre.”

1 million per acre…….

*EDIT* ok the pic should be fixed, they apparently didn’t like me linking to their site and denied me access,lol

  9. hide your pets, as cicads don’t usually hurt people, they will attack small animals like cats…..
