The cicada swarm has finally reached this end of town. The sound of their calls are so loud it is about all you can hear outside and is easily heard inside over the din of my television. I was trying to get a photo of the extremely loud ruby eyed bugs yesterday to put on the blog. There were all ensconced deeply in the trees around us yesterday. At least, that was what I thought. I was about to head inside as I heard a loud crunching noise. It was Caramel getting some extra protein and nutrients as she munched down on a cicada. Soon, Maggie joined in on the act and I threw up a little in my mouth. “Well, old girl,” I thought of Maggie. “There goes your diet.”

Well... here's hoping they don't lick your face for a while. ;)
I love the sound of cicadas. It's such a spring sound.
After you wrote about the cicadas a few posts ago, I researched them on line. You must be getting the 13 year ones like we are supposed to get here. During a normal summer, I don't hear them until the end of June. I wonder if they will come early this year. Bzzzt!
