Thanks for the link. If it's any consolation, this year we had tons of mayflies (in July and even into August) and they would be all over our cars in the morning. Ontario has an even bigger problem with the mayflies every year as they come out in the millions reducing visibility on highways.<br />What concerns me about the mayflies is the fact that they have survived the streams and rivers and emerged as adults. That may be an indicator of fewer trout and other predators who love to eat the mayfly larva.<br />Up close, the cicadas are kind of cute....quite a difference from their grub stage where they look positively evil.<br />Cicadas, mayflies, and maggots...quite an eventful summer so far.<br /><br />S.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08793047835261862513noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215546190509492232.post-67012680138424002662009-08-21T16:09:47.458-07:002009-08-21T16:09:47.458-07:00Ah, the cicadas.

It was something out of a horror film (almost). <br /><br />An unbelievable amount of creatures EVERYWHERE!! The sound outside was simply deafening. You could see little red eyes on practically every surface. It was even hard not to step on them. Ewwww.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1905553" rel="nofollow">Roar of the Cicadas</a> Check out the related NPR Stories, too.Lisa Emrichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10862232056342347990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3215546190509492232.post-14399520101417535902009-08-21T14:59:51.728-07:002009-08-21T14:59:51.728-07:00Our granddaughter won't even hold the outer sh...Our granddaughter won't even hold the outer shell from which the cicada emerges. I saved a cicada from the curiousity of our new puppy a few days ago.<br />I have frequent episodes of vertigo and tinnitus. The sound I hear is much like the noise of cicadas. <br />Hope your heat has relented. <br />KelliKellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09166638497909239665noreply@blogger.com
