YUCK, YUCK, YUCK!!! Cicadas are sooo nasty! I'm tired of not being able to walk outside without being attacked by them! Eww, ewww, ewwww!!! Besides that, they are SOOOO loud! BREEIIHHHH! BREEIIHHH! So annoying. I'm still trying to figure out if they actually have a purpose. I know they must be good for SOMETHING, right??...or else they would not have been created. I'm determined to figure this out. In fact, I'm going to research it right now! Stay tuned!..............................................................................................................

...........................................................................................................Okay, so apparently cicada's aren't useless. (But I still think we could do without them!) I found that among other things, they are part of the food chain and in some countries they are, believe it or not, a source of food. Very interesting. I also found that they have quite a fascinating life cycle. If your curious, check out these links below!

Now I suppose I should try to look on the bright side of things! I guess it's good that the species here in Tennessee only come out every 13 years....and lots of kids have fun playing with them (gross)....and...umm...well that's all I can think of. Haha :)
