Cicada hunter

Axe, you're selling cicadas online now?  Better hurry, they're bound to outsource that once we move on to brood XI

Last night they started singing. The males make the eeriest sound you can imagine. It's like a low hooting/chirping sound. This morning they were all singing up a storm in the trees across the street.

We have these where I grew up in central TX.  They aren't as large though, maybe topping 1" before shedding their shell.  I know the chirping sound.  One of them can make quite a racket.  I can't imagine thousands at once.

Was talking to guy I work with in Puerto Rico. He says the ones they get down there are as long as your hand.

...then he stabbed me. Damn Peurto Ricans.

They're doing it all the time now. It sounds like our evil alien overlords have returned to exact their vengeance on us. They're waiting in the woods in their vehicles of pain and death, and when the sound stops...

I'm not sure why or if this somehow reminded me, but Axe I once again ran into that guy in my office who looks scarily like you.  I don't see him that often, but it always makes me do a doubletake.  LOL

(EDIT) hehe, I guess you could take "who looks scarily like you" more than one way, but I'll let you decide.
