The very horny and very loud insects haven't arrived in full force for the Mid-Atlantic cicada sex invasion quite yet, but when they do, they will come with a huge body-count advantage over people, outnumbering us 600-to-1, or possibly even more, according to the Associated Press. The exact number of noisy bugs that will emerge from beneath the soil for the sole purpose of making more cicada babies remains unknown. Several experts estimate that 30 billion of the brood will make the four- to six-week migration above ground and across much of the East Coast.

I have seen an outbreak of Michigan fish flies. Truly awesome to behold in a good year.

You know, the pending swarms of cicadas are creepy enough even without stopping to think why they're swarming. Really, really didn't need to know this.

All cicadas will get free Obama-Phones.

Sex Crazed Cicadas? Weren’t they the opening act for Green Day?

[IbJensen]

Sounds rather like the ratio of Mexican invaders.

Oh, no. Those are cucarachas.

Sex Crazed Cicadas? Weren’t they the opening act for Green Day?

I dunno, but as Dave Barry says, it is indeed an excellent name for a rock band.

[Arthur McGowan]

Right. I grew up in D.C.

For a moment, I thought this was an Al Gore thread.

[Sirius Lee]

What’s the ratio of sex crazed bugs to sex enthusiastic, or in my case, sex gymnastic humans?

I remember the last time I saw the birds kept swoopning down getting the Cicadas.
The duck even loved them.
I hated trying to clean what's left of them off the windows of the car and house.

[American Constitutionalist]

Get enough birds or ducks and you won’t have to worry about the Cicadas
