They're Back! 17 Year and or 13 Year Locust - Cicada


 



They're Back!  17 Year Locust (Cicada)


I can remember how incredibly loud they were as a child.  And rather frightening looking, although they are harmless. 


There are actually 7 different species, some on a 17 year and some on a 13 year cycle, and a few every year.  Enjoy!


Don't Bug Me.

Costa Rica has them on a four year cycle.
