Sweet. I like cicadas, I have never managed to see a mass emergence though, we just get the dogday harvestflies yearly.
I'm surprised I haven't heard about this, my brother-in-law is an entomologist....yes, you can get called Doctor for being an expert in classifying mayflies. Purdue University has a bug day thing where they have chocolate covered crickets etc, I think he worked it yearly.
2012 goals: Fastest race times since 2006.

WHY would anyone eat these things? Nasty. I vividly remember them in 1985 and I dread running & biking and the potential of them smacking me in the face or getting stuck in my sweaty hair. My 2.5 year old flips out when she sees so much as a dead fly. This should prove to be an interesting summer.
I don't half-ass anything

We had them every summer growing up. I used to love catching and then torturing the little things. We used to put them in 2 liter soda bottle and then drop an m-80 firre cracker ito the thing before securing the lid. Man those were the days. We also used to eat june bugs and such growing up all on dares and sometimes for the fun of who could do the growsest things. Man those were the good ol' days.

Beware, batbear...
We had the cicadas in AVL a couple of years ago. A girl came in with a big freezer bag full of the exoskeletons.
2012 Goals:
1. 1100+ miles.
2. Streak starting in March or April if I'm healed.
3. 100 Push up challenge to get some upper body strength back.
4. Get weight under 180 by the end of the summer.
5. 1 or fewer alcoholic drinks 4+ nights per week every week.
6. Concentrate on 5K distance and September HM.
7. Have fun!
We had a monster brood (X) in 2004. It's on a 17 year cycle. In places they were like leaves on the ground and walking to your car in a parking lot surrounded by trees there was crunching of dead and live cicadas with every step.
