Cicadas Part Deux

Cicadas on our house's foundation
The cicadas have now reached a new level of repulsiveness -- not only do their outgrown shells and living bodies litter the ground, the bugs fly slowly and clumsily through the air and their mating song overpowers the noise of air conditioners and rings through the summer nights and hot afternoons. 

The many squirrels in our subdivision think they're in heaven -- fat, juicy cicadas everywhere! Here's a short video of a squirrel munching on one in our front yard. Listen to the roar in the background -- cicadas. At least the squirrels and birds like them!
