Someone said that since our development is newer than 17 years and there was digging/excavating within the 17 years (or 13- whatever it is) that there aren't many around our neighborhood.  I did smash one on the windshield driving this afternoon, though.

Ohhh, that makes a lot of sense.

They're all over the Richland Creek greenway. Fortunately, I've avoided any kind of dive-bombing attacks during my runs.

Those nasty red/orange eyes are a good match of the new swamp shirts. Something to remember this season by. &$):;@&-!?&$

this weekend while i was digging around in the ground to plant some MONKEY grass, a cicada fell into the hole i had prepared in the earth for the MONKEY grass, so i thought about you, and i just buried the little red-eyed bugger alive, because i thought maybe that would make you happy.

you're welcome.

I can hear them, but not many at all around our house.  When I drive on 65 they hit my windshield and SPLAT.  Very few on the Brentwood trail.  I'm glad I don't have to engage with them too much.

Finally .... only one or two buzzes as I swept the front porch.  I swept away dead cicadas.  None flew in my hair.  Even the dog is sick of the cicadas.  Took a long ride yesterday, I could hear them, but none of them attacked me.  I think this is the beginning of the end.
