Cicada Safari

 The year: 2024

The month of May, ground temperature 64 degrees Fahrenheit. Here they came.

Brood XIII, with both 13 and 17 year cycles. Dogs, squirrels, and robins ate well.


Scads of them, all dying quickly.


But first, gorging on plants.


We didn't have even one in our complex--wrong kind of trees? Who knows.
