We went out earlier this month to golf and I saw a ton of these 17 year cicada . . . well, 17 year cicada stains on the ground. I was disappointed because there was little left to take pictures of. But today there were many more fresh stains left by more hoards meeting the golf cart wheels but also still living creatures. This bugger looked as though he/she had already mated and was dying. I remember seeing these when I was a kid in Chicago though I don't remember them having the red eyes and black bodies. –NY
Funny, cicadas are also part of my childhood memories. They were deafening around the place where my brother and I went to summer camp three decades (!!) ago. Since then, I have rarely encountered them. Gross--I mean, very sharply detailed--pic, btw.
