    As a kid here in Florida I would tie thread to cicadas and they would fly in circles around me. They don't bite and are harmless. Their shells are so cool too.

    We've done that with June Bugs and my husband catches wood bees (with the white dot on their head). There's just something about these things... Now, I do think the shells are kinda cool cause they will stick to you clothes like a broach! I wore one to church on my dress when I was a kid and my Sunday School teacher made me take it outside... hahahaha! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!!

    Crazy right??? LOL That is exactly what I would do if one was in my car... they can be very loud for sure and if he's got some friends with him it can be deafening! I'm glad you're ok and did not have a wreck. You probably live in a small town like we do if the Sherriff didn't even stop to check on you! THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!! I hope you subscribe!

    yeah, I know they don't sting or bite. I know they are 'harmless" and all the things. BUT, they are creepy huge flying critters that crash into your face, land on you, pile up where you least need them like when you're trying to feed... when you're cruising on the tractor or the side by side and they crash into your face ... you will know it!! They also get stuck in your hair! Yep! They land and drown in your animals water which has to be cleaned out..... yeah, they are a lot. Hey but THANK YOU FOR WATCHING!!! I appreciate your comment!!

    Only if you crash into something or trip while RUNNING away from them... otherwise they are harmless. I'm just a little bit afraid of them. They look creepy and they FEEL creepy when they land on you and crawl... mercy!! They sure do get your attention when they crash in to your face and hair! Normally I'm pretty tough against critters but these things are just ick... maybe 'cause there's so many of them??? I don't know. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR WATCHING!!!!
