Ok, so I come home from school and this is what my backyard looks like. These pictures are just from one small section of the 20foot x 20foot wooded area behind my house. Multiply the amount of Cicadas seen in these pictures by 100 and that's how many are actaully back there...it's insane!! Oh, and disregard my mildewed porch...it needs to be powerwashed

On with the pictures....


















enjoy...

 

You just made me gag. Where the hell do you live? Please don't say VA.

 

Yuck! SICK! Where's your flame thrower?

 

i saw some having sex today when i was in school, yup, stuck on the window, having sex

 

weird looking suckers

 

That's in MD. A couple of my friends around me have a bunch as well. BauleyCivic's yard is covered too. I have yet to go to Sander's house though (he lives in the ******* woods...I bet his place is COVERED). You know, people say you can eat these things

 

lol good ol back east , I have alot of family back there. Must be the 17th year.

I think it's primarily an east coast thing. I think Ohio gets it the worst, but I'm not positive.

lol, this is funny because a month ago my whole accounting class was talking about them and this one kid didnt know **** about it, he thought we were playing around, i told him, "they big nasty lookin bugs that come every 17 years out of the ground"... if you saw the expression on his face youd laugh your *** off, it was one of those heres another urban legend time expressions

 

some reason i feel itchy

 

oh yeah.. i heard about this.. every 17 years.. dont they come from the ground?

 

The noise isn't SOO bad. It will probably get worse. Most of them can't even fly yet. I saw a couple flying, but most of them are just chillin on bushes. When they can all fly, it's going to be hell. I might have to put my AC back in my car for fear of a cicada flying in my open window while driving...

 

that **** gave me chills...*shivers*

yeah, they come out of little holes. it's ******* crazy, my backyard has tons of those damn holes. I think what happens is they lay their eggs up in the trees, they fall off and into the ground, 17 years later you get them coming out of the holes and starting the entire process over again. They only come out just to mate, and then they die. They are the most worthless bug in existence...

 

damn... 17 years. thats crazy.. wouldnt u think the top soil would be/messed with in 17 years to kill them *******?

 

I think they live a littler farther down than that, but I could be wrong.

 

Spray Paint Can + Lighter = burn up them ****'s

Its absolute madness, I was there. They are beginning to cover my yard too

 

Heres a cool video of them coming out of their shell things after their hybernation or whatever.
