    Sunny Hostin on "The View" commented on this. She had never heard of this before and commented before doing any research.
    She said, "There's something really strange going on here. A new planet discovered 18 billion light years from Earth, secret drones everywhere, and now cicadas appearing out of the ground; this is really strange and creepy."

    In Texas, we have them every summer. Late June to mid July. They molt and leave the outer shell everywhere. Some days they really raise a ruckus with the noise.

    Dogs love to eat those things. My Black & Tan hound would gorge himself on them. They don't make the dogs sick either. Seems like a kid in a candy store with all free candy.

    Illinois certainly had more than their fair share of them last summer. Had one sneak into my car while I was visiting relatives. Naturally my aunt and mother freaked out. It took about 20 minutes to get rid of it-it got wedged between the rear window and the center high mount stop light,go figure!lol

    They pride themselves on speaking on topics they don’t have a clue about. With them Miss-information is all they know.

    So loud last year driving through the Ozarks. You could hear them inside your vehicle, windows up, blower on, radio on.

    Worst I've seen em. The creeks were on fire for days though with the fish hammering em if they hit the water.
