It's Cicada time in Cincinnati!

It's Cicada time in Cincinnati! |
| In the morning, you have the shells left
over. They are all over the trees.
|
|
|
|
| But, if you get up at night, they are on the
move.
|
| They climb up in the trees and hang to dry
out their wings.
|
|
|
| The amazing thing is to watch them through a
complete exit out of the shell. It splits open and he comes wiggling
out.
|
|
| The wings are so small!
|
|
|
|
|
|
| We are past the the point of time when they
were all emerging. Now, it time for noise and mating. The
noise is deafening in some parts of town. Why? Because there
are so many!
|
|
|
|
| Some people are trying to protect young
trees. They lay eggs by splitting the end of the branch and then
laying eggs into the tips. It will kill the end of the branch.
|
| Watch where you step!
