My dog loves them. He's been catching and chewing the little bastards up. Yummy treats!

thanks for officially freaking me outI'm not scared of cicadas, or even cicada killers, I am scared of itch mites. Those things are horrible, and I believe they are very active during cicada season (they sure were last time).
The panda eats, shoots, and leaves.
Here's a table detailing the different 13- and 17-year broods and where they occur.
I think it was Brood XIII that emerged in 1990 when I lived in Chicago. The streets were crawling with those things!
You mean "The panda eats shoots and leaves"?
Cicada Killers are the best part, those things are cool. If you've never seen one it looks like a wasp only about 10x bigger. They capture Cicadas, paralyze them, lay eggs in them, then put them underground - awesome!
Those bastards keep building nests in our yard. They're scary as hell but don't really bother you and are considered to be pretty harmless. They don't like it when you mow over their little dirt piles, either. Fortunately they seem to blame the lawn mower and not the person operating it.
You can see the size compared to a Cicada. These things are scary as **** if you've never seen them. They're definitely big, but the males don't sting, and the females will only sting if they're captured, or hung in clothing etc. But, they say their sting is actually less painful than that of a Red wasp, since it's only designed to paralyze the Cicada.
Nice reference TallPaul. We played the Charlie Vettiner Open in 2008 with them. Think they were the 17-year variety. The noise is like being surrounded by those vuvuzuelas from the World Cup and it rises/falls with how much they're agitated. If you can concentrate while they're out, you can concentrate during anything.
