Cicadas

I am a totally pansy.  Wanna know why?  Well today when I was mowing my lawn the wonderful cicadas that have come out of their 13 year absence started attacking me.  Well not really attacking me but several few in my general direction and sent me running in the opposite way as fast as I could go.  Needless to say it took me a bit longer to mow my lawn.  I know its really lame to be scared of a bug that's 10000 times smaller than me but they're HIDEOUS and make the most awful noise as they come at you.  Sure they don't bite, sting or do anything to cause physical pain but I still HATE them.  I'm glad they'll be gone in a week or two and I can look forward to less ugly summer bugs, like fireflies.  Until then I'm staying inside.   Just to prove my point here's a picture of the bug from you know where.  I"m not to crazy for running away from this nasty thing right?
