For my first ever "That Thing" Thursday, I present to you two discarded cicada shells. These little guys stay in the ground and come out after 7 years. We just recently had a swarm here in Pennsylvania in 2004. I'm just happy that I didn't see the actual bugs. They are big and ugly. Ergh.

"That Thing" Thursday
For my first ever "That Thing" Thursday, I present to you two discarded cicada shells. These little guys stay in the ground and come out after 7 years. We just recently had a swarm here in Pennsylvania in 2004. I'm just happy that I didn't see the actual bugs. They are big and ugly. Ergh.

Oh yes, I've seen a number of these around our yard. They also leave very distinctive holes in the ground.
ReplyDeleteI remember how our yard was ripped up last time they swarmed. We had them everywhere.
ReplyDeleteOhhhh...no. One thing everyone knows about me is I don't do bugs. I'd probably run from the shells. I'm glad to live in California where we just have normal bugs. About the worst we have is what we call a Potato Bug. I don't know what everyone else calls it but probably my most hated bug.
ReplyDeleteWe have stink bugs and box elder beetles everywhere. OH! When I was in the Poconos there was a resident spider that was pretty big. With legs it was about 1 inch. Yeah, it stayed in between the window.
