I hate them! With the exception of the cicada killer wasp I find these things to be a most terrifying insect.
FTA
Insect experts say that starting in mid April to late May, residents from North Carolina to New England will witness the emergence of billions upon billions of the singing insects.
Phew, dodged a bullet! I'm a bit further south. It's extremely unlikely we'll witness a cicadapocalypse on the farm. I do love the panic they've induced previously though!

When I was in middle school millions emerged and covered the trees, houses, phone poles, signs--- anything. I remember crying and begging my mom to drive me to school because they flew around so manically outside where I'd have to wait for the bus. She made me ride the bus anyway and was destroyed that day. I hate these bugs. They terrify me. I don't think I would be able to stay for roo if they swarmed like that again.

The only full on cicada infestation I lived through was in 1998 Nashville. Was in Chicago a few years ago when they had theirs, was back in middle tn for a visit a couple of years ago.
Awesome display of nature. Piles of bugs on the interstate. Damn constant noise.

Maybe I'm a weirdo, but I've always wanted to see a cicada emergence. We don't have them in NY. Although, I'm sure they're a major pain in the ass and ill probably be over them within an hour.
I have a cicada hunting cat. I'll let you guys know of the first sighting.
And they are hallucinogenic when eaten by cats.
Are you serious, Druid? I have a cat who loves to catch them and carry them in his mouth (it's quite freaky with this thing humming and wings going a hundred mile an hour in his mouth) but seriously, he is messed up in his head enough, so are cicadas hallucinogenic? If so, I'll not gonna let him bite them anymore.

Very serious. Our little girl is Athena. We named her correctly. She is a hunter and an athlete. Normal all the time, except Cicada time. She loves Cicadas. Brings them into the house, chases them all over, then eats them. Gets fucking weird as hell when she does. She jumps at sounds, gets freaked out by lights, pees on the floor. You know, the normal activity at Bonnaroo.
We were just discussing cicadas last night, my dear old pup Ruckus (RIP) ate the heck out of those buggers in '04. He gained a couple pounds from them! We got married that year, had all these plans to have everyone clap before the ceremony so they would be quiet, have brooms to sleep up carcases... it rained so we were indoors and cicada-free but I still have a tee shirt of a cicada in a wedding veil up in the attic...
