I hope my post regarding the destruction of the female 17 year cycle cicada
was useful to someone. I went thru some angst trying to decide if I should
post it, but knowing there are people out there that aren't scared of the
bugs but might not realise the damage the female is doing where they are at
was enough motiviation for me to be nice and put one post out of several
informative posts regarding this pest.

I don't mind that I got no response. I just hope someone was helped out by
it like I was when I looked it up after seeing massive damage to the ends of
my trees and shrubs and it gets worse by the hour...........

madgardener sticky from the humidity and working outside all day at lowes in
Eastern Tennessee (feels like the inside of a Smucker's jam jar)


I read a few posts, not yours, looked at the maps on a site, none are
in my part of the country.. and the few posts I looked at just looked
like quarreling, so I highlighted the entire cicada area and deleted
'em. Sorry didn't see yours or anything about how they were doing
damage.
