RE: Cicada invasion...
Melody, they are predicting a few million in the Miami Valley. Would you
like me to save a few of the exoskeletons to send you? And actually, they
pretty much do emerge about the same time in the same region. We have
annual cicadas every year, but I remember a year where they seemed to be
everywhere--about 17 years ago.
Blessings,
Bonnie (SW Oh - zone 5)

I know...they don't all hatch out all over the country at the same
time...but I'm hoping a few might wander over this way. Plus there's a
lot of TV coverage nationwide, so they should get some good media
coverage, anyway.

They may not be in IA. There was a big article in our paper about the
<br>cicadas and this particular "brood" (each brood, or
emergence, is <br>numbered by entomologists...can't remember which
number this one is) <br>will mainly be in the East. The last big
emergence in western IL was in <br>1998, if I remember
correctly.<br>Cathy, IL<br>On Friday, May 14, 2004, at 05:06 AM, Melody

Bonnie, no protection needed - except for your ears. They won't<br>>
hurt<br>anything. In fact, I was surprised you wrote, "this
is a very<br>> bad year for<br>Cicada's ". It's a very
GOOD year for them. All you<br>> folks that run out in<br>the
middle of the night to stare into the sky<br>> at something far away
like<br>Mars - why wouldn't you want to see a<br>> penomenon
happening right here?<br>Pretty
neat!<br>Kitty<br><br>-----<br>> Original Message
