Think of large, flying cockroaches that are as loud as a hundred grasshoppers. Check out these pictures.
I had never heard of them before this year. Evidently, they have a 17-year life cycle. They live underground. Every 17 years, they surface, lay their eggs and then die.
While they are out, they fly around, crashing into windshields, making a deafening sound. It is like a 17-year mini plague. It’s crazy!
Yeah Illinois.

I'm trying to think of why I know about cicadas but for the life of me I don't know why I know about them. I even screw up the pronunciation of preface (I always want to say pre-face), but I knew exactly how to pronounce cicada...why?
I don't know... you are clearly steps ahead of me. I had to research how to spell them. We never had them in MI.
I think that the June bugs are actually better. Cicedas "dive bomb" in some sort of clandestined mission.
