I’m not afraid of cicadas, but I can’t even describe my feeling of revulsion when one hit me straight in the mouth while flying this summer. Absolutely disgusting.

When I was a child, I was in Vegas during one of the biggest (at the time) 17 year cicada cycles

They were everywhere. On everything.

At the time I was fine with it, I was too young not to be, but it and an incident with termites led me to hatred of all creepy crawlies. Sorry little guys. But please don’t come into my home!
