A Tale of Two Cicadas



Cicada 1.....or 1/2?

This dude was still alive, still moving, still had a brain telling it to call and try to mate, but it no longer had the organ to make the cicada noise. It knew what it was supposed to do, but just couldn't do it.



This baw, cicada number 2, was able to complete the task, though.

One time I was on the phone in my driveway when a cicada flew by my head and scared the shite out me.

Immediately, a cicada killer hit that dude in the back and latched on. Not a second later a bird flies by and grabs both of them out of the air.

I have no idea what kind of bird. Like a regular bird.

It was amazing.

A while back I was working on a project at Whitfield the state hospital in Mississippi. They have drug rehab, nursing home, etc. on campus but they are known for the crazies. There’s a lot of people there that actually have to wear a helmet because they collect rocks and fall over or hit each other with said rocks. The helmets they wear resemble old leather football helmets and watching a group of those leather heads scream at trees because the cicadas are driving them even crazier is both sad and hilarious.

They will piss on you. Was on my deck last weekend and felt drops of rain but it was clear sky. Then realized it was the cicadas in the trees above. Looked it up and they will spray as a defense mechanism.
