I enjoy summertime cicadas. It’s part of summer.
I love the sound in my back yard. Reminds me of growing up in the country.

Cicada killers target annual cicadas which are the ones a lot of people are mistaking for the ones this thread is about. I have seen periodical cicadas exactly once, and may never see one again because of where I live.

Photo from May of 2011, North Alabama. Can confirm the sound from the thousands was piercing and spooky.

All I know is that the last house I owned had a population of Cicada Killers. During cicada season, they would be thick in the back yard carrying knocked out/dead cicadas back to their holes in the ground.
I never got used to them because at a certain time of year they were always buzzing you. They look like a HUGE Hornet. And though I've never been stung by one, they say if you ever provoke one enough to sting you, it will be something you'll remember.
I saw this one last Summer. Its nest/tunnel is in my backyard, I think.

What gets me is not just thinking about the cicadas hanging out underground for so long, but all of the things underground, overwintering, biding their time until things are just right. Untold trillions of whatevers just going about life under our feet, ones we can see and ones we can't, the good, the bad, and the ugly. It is a busy place.

Dogs love to eat cicadas
Cicadas are the world’s best dog toy/treat. It’s an angry hunt and kill game when one of those loud things goes screaming right by a dog.
It’s more of a chase and play game when a cicada is sitting still, and a dog walks up and starts sniffing it, then suddenly the cicada takes off buzzing and screaming in the dog’s face.
Cicadas don’t go down easily either. I’ve seen many a buzzing cicada captured in a dog’s mouth, only to be immediately released to begin the chase again. All hell can break loose if one of those things gets inside your house.

This may be one of the more thought provoking posts I have read on tOT.
