I saw my first [Living] Cicada today | #1 | ||
My whole life (and moms whole life) I was led to believe these bug shells we sometimes come across were Locus shells..
Well, I found a LIVING source of these shells to day in my foot DR's parking lot! I didn't have a phone so I couldn't take a pic but I looked it up and found out that its not a locus! It's a Cicada! And I even found a pic of one with the exact coloring of the one i saw! Mom was soooo amazed! She had only ever found the shells or skins! In 62 years she had never seen a live one! It took me 26 years to find one. >w> It was sooo pretty! I picked it up off the parking lot and put it near a small shurb tree thing for shade and protection. Didn't want the pretty thing to get hit by a car.. | ||||

lol DK, I have a friend who HATES the sound of cicadas. I think it's great fun to send her short videos I take of them droning on during the summer, and she usually responds by sending me a picture of herself flipping the bird.
When we were kids, the sibling used to chase me around with the shells. I use She/Her and They/Them pronouns.

I see them all the time, I thought everyone saw them! I've even seen a few fresh from their shells and caught one as it was hatching! We picked up the shell, put it in a jar, and watched it hatch, it was pretty cool.
Although it's not a good sound when one gets stuck in a car's windshield wiper. :( It made the most awful noises against the glass until we got it out. | ||||

We have so many Cicadas around here, we hear that "music" all the time. I just zone it out most of the time, way to use to it. I really don't even notice the sound unless there are a LOT of cicadas, or someone points it out to me.
I usually only see the shells, but my husbands supervisor found a dead one a brought it to me because I told him I hadn't seen one before. It was...odd and interesting. But...that was D for you. I mean, this dude had a stuffed Squirrel (taxidermy stuffed) on his desk with owls feel on it's hands and a turtle shell on it's back. So..yeah. Strange, and awesome, guy. Call me Ath!

We don't have much/any of those around here. But we have a lot of crickets. They're SO annoying in the Summer. I'll have to listen to those noises and see if it's better.

We used to see their shells all the time at my university, plus they'd sing ALL day, so we kinda grew to hate them xD Poor things. We were the ones on their space.

I generally don't like bugs. They're creepy... But this one is pretty-looking. I guess. It's pretty for a creepy thing.

I've found that there are a lot of things that are cute and/or pretty from the right perspective as long as you don't have to deal with them yourself.
