They don’t really do any real damage and the other critters feast for a few days.
Awww...they don’t bite ya.
Unless you are one of many species of birds. They love 'em!
Thanks for posting a photo.
Cute bugs. I like bugs. They’re fascinating.
I wonder if my chickens will snack on Cicadas.
They’ve taken care of my Japanese beetle problem last year.
They are perfectly harmless and very cool to watch, IMHO.
I recall years ago playing golf in Western PA when they hatched. The 1st hole was wide open in a meadow, but at the 2nd hole you went back into the woods to get to the tee box. I heard them even before we got into the woods. I thought it was some big pump with bad bearings the screech was so loud.
But when we got back into the woods there were thousands of them hanging from the trees coming out of their shells.
I thought it was really cool to see. They don't bite, they don't destroy anything, they just hatch, mate and then die leaving a meal for some other critter.
