I would just like to say that I would totally FREAK! if there was a
cicada invasion here! Everything covered including people? YUCK!!

* It was disgusting and I'll never forget it. We couldn't even walk from
the door to the cars without having several land and crawl on us. Driving
with the windows open wasn't possible. They'd fly right in. The outdoor
furniture was full of them and useless. I had never in my life seen
anything like it. And maybe a few miles away there were almost none. But
living at the edge of a lightly forested area at the time made it hell. I'm
not squeamish but when such huge bugs land in my hair and on my clothing....
yeeeeech! :-(

I live in the high desert in Nevada and have never seen a cicada, as far as I
know. But we do have Mormon Crickets. These are truly disgusting. About 2
inches long, they eat their own dead, and swarm over everything. They eat it
all as they go, lawn, vegetables, flowers, even the house. Last year was one
of the worst invasion ever. We hope and pray that this year does not bring the
same.
