[QUOTE="skeeter, post: 50653, member: 439"] I have a great way to remember when they show up around here - NF was born in a cicada year! There will be a brief outbreak on the east side of the county next year - 17 years after NL was born. We live in an area of town with lots of old trees, so basically we don't go outside the entire month of June when the little buggers are out. And you can't carry a conversation in the house if you have the windows open, they are so loud. I am not exaggerating, the dead bugs are inches thick on the sidewalks! The last time (3 years ago) they were out, husband was redoing the entire front yard, and we figured out the rototiller must make a sound close to their mating call. They were stuck all OVER him - and while they don't bite, he says their claws are nasty little things. Oh - do watch the dogs if you have them. There were stories on the news about dogs getting upset stomachs from eating too many bugs. Ours didn't eat many, but they did "hunt" them! [/QUOTE]
