Cicadas

Cicadas have no idea that the curly-haired guy from NSYNC is one of the biggest entertainers in the world.

Where are those bugs I never cared about prior to three months ago?

Jeez, can't they get a room?

We may not have gotten to see many cicadas outside of Staten Island, but who needs to see things in real life when there are gorgeous documentaries to watch!

Our cats will save us.

For weeks, we've been molting in anticipating of the arrival of our cicada overlords—and now, billions of the Brood II cicadas have finally begun swarming Staten Island.

We talked to a cicada expert at Cornell who set the record straight.

They covered the face of the whole land, so that the land was darkened, and they ate all the plants in the land and all the fruit of the trees that the hail had left. Not a green thing remained, neither tree nor plant of the field, through all the land of Egypt. - Exodus 10:15

Moments like this, we're actually glad we don't have a backyard to serve as an unofficial sex pit to these horny insects.

We're hungry for cicadas, universe, please send them immediately...

We will not rest until every last cicada is tracked!

"For entomophobes, this is the season of despair. For the entomophiles, this is the season of joy," said University of Maryland entomologist Michael Raupp. And for Stephen Colbert, this is the season of the bugapocalypse.
