Cicadas, oh my!!

The Cicadas have landed!  Or hatched...or something!  These special Cicadas hatch from the ground every 17 years and we were lucky enough to be around to see it!  This is actually the second brood we've been around to see.  The first one was in 2004.  This bugs might be ugly, but they are pretty harmless.  They are pretty slow moving and kind of clumsy.  The crazy thing about them is that they are really loud.  Especially when there are thousands of them!  You could hear a constant humming when you went outside.  The kids actually thought they were pretty cool and so did my dad!  He took all of these pictures when he was visiting in June.
