Absolutely great.
We lived in the DC area when one of these invasions happened 2 cycles ago.
We had a year old German Short Haired pointer. She was a great protector of the family, with a huge appetite and not much will power nor brains when it came to eating.
She gorged herself on these critters. I had locked her up in the shed where I keep our lawn mower to keep her from ODing on the Cicadas. She got mad and chewed up everything that wasn't metal that was in the shed. She ruined a lawnmower, handles on rakes, shovels and saws.
After that, I just left her out after that to gorge every night. She looked like a blimp when the Cicadas stopped coming out.

ROFL!!
I had a dog named Mog that ate a lawnmower one time. She also ate three boxes of nails, an unknown quantity of rocks, and a series of hoses. My mom has her now (she was a puppy of one of my mom's dogs... long story how she got Mog back) and Mog has gone on to eat all my mom's hoses and heaven only knows what else (Mom doesn't keep close track of what's outside in her yard). When she gets real bored she digs under the fence as if she's trying to get to China.
