Once in a lifetime Cicada event

[finelyshedded]

They are attracted to my truck when the vac and water are running. I'm over them crawling all over me.

Has any of them bit you yet? I was literally bombarded for 1.5 hours today while mowing and noticed if they lit on my bare skin and sat there for a minute or so they were either biting, pinching or stinging. Nothing terrible just annoying like a deer/horse fly bite.

My fruit trees are covered with them. Hope they don’t kill them.

I think it's the claws. I gotta tuck my shirt on or the bastards crawl up it. Then it's a MFer to get them out without shut down my truck.

I haven’t been bit. You must have mean ones in your neighborhood.
