Bug watchers report that this year we'll have lots of Cicadas to entertain us.  Depending on the strain, they hatch every 13 or 17 years.  I've missed their screeching sound and the husks from sheding their skin. 4951

When I was a kid, we collected the husks.  They were/are very cool.  I have no idea WHY we collected them, we just did.They can make a heck of a racket, too. 4951

I had a BUNCH of husks on my house last year; more than usual. You're saying it'll be worse this year? Boyyyy howdy. I hope my cicada killers come back. I had 5 or 6 of them set up shop at my house last year; they had plenty to eat! 4951

They burrow into the ground; looks like a ant mound but the hole is about the size of a quarter. And they generally don't mess with people. 4951

I enjoy the sound of Cicadas as long as I can't hear them inside! One year there were so many about 10 years or so ago, we could hear them all night long, we finally put an air filtration device in our bedroom that made a lot of white noise so we could sleep. 4951

I was terrified of cicada killers, they act crazy & will chase you a bit. But I read that they don't really sting or bite, they're just protecting their eggs I guess.  4951
