I hear they are emerging in Delaware and the line is moving north. We were talking about the locusts at work tonight, wondering where the hell they were, already ...

Nothing up here in King-o-Prussia, or further up in Trappe. I think the cicadas decided to skip a cycle.

Here's a nymph, on its way to find a place to molt. It's slightly longer than a quarter in real life.

My mother says it is B.A.D. in Baltimore right now. I don't envy her one bit. She told me that some dude was driving around the neighborhood with a truch offering to spray the shrubs and the trees. She declined, because she wasn't comfortable that he was in a non-company truck (she's 67 and she's not trying to get taken advantage of). *still bracing...*

I'm in Virginia. It's not so bad here. I mean, sure, there are tens of thousands of these things all over the yard, but no biggie. They really aren't that bad.
You want bad, talk about mosquitos. Talk about ants in the house. Talk about cockroaches. Cicadas are really nothing. |

While my mother seemed quite calm about them, my friend was saying that you look up in the trees and it's like there are no leaves, just bugs. So, I suppose it's in the eye of the beholder. It the volume wasn't so huge, I'd feel a bit better about the whole thing. Ah well... And yeah, roaches and mosquitos are bad..never had ants though.
