They sure are ugly, and a pain in the *** to try to avoid, but I'm sure Jr. will get a kick out of them. I'll just have to make sure to empty his pockets before I was them.
For the haters.

Over here in Vancouver, we don't get cicadas at all for some reason. Too wet is my guess. My introduction to the cicada was in Prescott Arizona during my first year of college there. That was "The Year of The Bugsâ„¢" You have to understand, that the very first month of that year was apperently the 10 year cycle for a type of giant brown beatle. The entire campus was literally (and i say this with absolutly no exageration) carpeted with these beatles. They were kind of cute in an insectlike way, so we were all kind of bugged out by that point. Then the cicada's started up. Having not heared one before at that point, it took me quite a few nights to figure out how to sleep through their buzzing. Then i saw the first one. It flew in the open door, and attached itself to the TV. huuuuuge bug. scared a few of us for a second because we were not expecting it. but after that it was kind of interesting to watch. It was really shimmery green and looked like a big hunk of emerald bug.

I read the story and got a laugh out of the outdoor wedding comments. Woe be unto the May bride who planned her wedding at the arboretum two years ago with no clue as to what horrors 2007 would hold.
On the plus side, their bright red eyes will contrast well with her hair as they get tangled up in her veil.

Gross.
Actually, I love all insects as long as they're not on me.

May 12th, hopefully the tainted soil of NJ killed the buggers off years ago.
Supposed to be in late May so you might luck out.

This sounds like a story right out of the Bible!
Quote:
The Eighth Plague
Moses and Aaron warned Pharaoh that God would send locusts. Pharaoh's advisors pleaded with him to let the people go so that Egypt would not be totally ruined.
Among many Egyptians there had developed a great respect for Moses and God. Even though they hated what was happening to Egypt, they could understand that what Moses said was true and that it was the great stubbornness of their Pharaoh that was responsible for all their suffering.
Since the plague of flies, no plagues had come near the Israelites. The people of Israel had rest from their labors, because the Egyptians were so busy dealing with the plagues. Moses grew in popularity.
Pharaoh asked Moses who would be going to sacrifice and Moses told him that everyone would go. From the oldest to the youngest, men and women, and all their livestock had to go as well.
Fearing that all his slaves would slip out of his grasp, Pharaoh became enraged and said he would allow the men to go worship in the wilderness, but their wives and children must remain behind. Of course Moses and Aaron refused to compromise with God's commandment. God then sent the greatest plague of locusts the world has ever seen. They ate every blade of wheat and spelt and every green leaf that the broken trees were trying to send out. Not one green thing was left in Egypt - except in Goshen, where not a single locust landed.
Pharaoh called for Moses and told him, "I have sinned against the Lord your God and against you. Please forgive my sin and entreat the Lord to take away this plague.
Moses did as Pharaoh asked, but Pharaoh changed his mind again, and refused to let God's people go.

I can hardly forgive you for the acidic fluid rising in my throat at the mere thought of a ginger wedding.

Sounds like your gift to your bride might be some spray-on Bug Off. Get the scented kind so it seems like she's got some perfume on.
