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.

=====================
I have heard of these crickets or grasshoppers. They sound every bit
as bad
as these cicadas - but the cicadas don't eat everything in their
path. Then
we have dead cicadas everywhere, covered with ants....

Oh NO! Now i have visions of ANTS everywhere!
(I have this slight phobia to swarming ants)
