These insects finished up their mating season in early July and have laid their eggs to be hatched in either 13 years or 17 years.

  1. Just leave them alone. They will get to your place soon enough.like invasive plant species, don’t transplant them just because they’re pretty. This you will regret.

  2. Profoundly, effin' stupid. Naturally ignorant people are the reason we no longer have elm trees and invasive asian fish in the great lakes. Someone slap her.

    1. Cicadas are not invasive. The two species with 13 and 17 year cycles that emerged this year are native, and exclusive, to North America. They only thrive in certain geographical areas, which is probably why they aren't in her area and her efforts will likely fail to establish a population.

    2. Anything that kills elm trees is ok in my book. Less of a giant mess for me to clean up every year.

  4. Probably slightly preferable to a house with 35 illegal alien squatters from The Congo.

  8. Cicadas do horrible damage to fruit trees. My grandfather had an orchard on the farm I grew up on. This lady should be put in prison.
