The Cicadas are Coming!

Today's buggy facts:

The recent buzz around the midwest is upcoming cicada emergence after around 17 years of lying dormant in the ground. These bugs are generally a couple inches in length and only appear around every fifteen years.

Local newspapers report, "The red-eyed, shrimp-sized, flying insects don't bite or sting. But they are known for mating calls that produce a din that can overpower ringing telephones, lawn mowers and power tools."

But what exactly will the billions of cicadas in the Midwest be like? Only time can tell!
