    They were not too bad in Northern NJ in 1996 supposedly the rockier the ground the less of them you'll see but what do I know.

    In Jamaica we have crickets so if it's any thing like that, now that I'm in DC I hope they stay away..

    Feeling very lucky to live in California right now. I have an aversion to plagues.

    I love cicadas! I'm in the DC Metro area and the last huge cicada infestation was in 2004 so I'm looking forward to it. I have a picture of one sitting on my finger. My daughter is still not over the trauma! lol

    As long as they bring beer and chips they'll be cool with me

    I love them! The sound, the way their wings look & the cool carcass left behind. I believe their is someplace that makes jewelry out of the wings.


    I like them too. I think they're relaxing.
    I haven't seen jewelry made from the wings but I found a pin once made from copper plating one of their left over exoskeletons. I bought it for a friend who collects cicada stuff.

    I like 'em!

    Ugh, I'm having heart palpitations just thinking about it. I have a horrible hear of bugs and of course I'm in Jersey, right where it's supposed to be bad! :sad:
