I would just like to say that I would totally FREAK! if there was a
cicada invasion here! Everything covered including people? YUCK!!
When i first read the original post, i had to find out if it was going
to be here so i would know when i was going to california for a visit!
But luckily it isn't expected here. I read that dogs and cats love the
bugs, will gorge themselves and then vomit. They are not poisonous but
apparently they are like "flying candy" to animals.

alright, I heard of the BIGGIE cicada invasion coming this year,, (
we had
a
big one 5 yrs ago,, but I guess this is the mother of all
invasions).

since these things are soooooooo stupid, they will inevitably end
up in
the
pond. uh,, will the frogs & fish eat them? or do I need to be on
top of
things & pull them out?
=========================================
I remember the NOISE from the last cicada invasion! Every day for
hours and
hours they sung their love song.... I didn't have the ponds back
then.
Everything on earth seemed to be covered with them - including
people.

Today I was working in the flower beds along side the ponds and
tossing in
the fat juicy earthworms. They love worms and follow me around to
pond
waiting for more to be tossed into the water. :-)
