Rapid and extreme change embodied by cicadas. In my hurry to learn everything there is to know about everything, my first lesson this morning was cicadas climb out of the ground and suck on the sap of trees, and yes it might kill young trees. But they aren't locusts, wiping out crops. And while there is a lot of speculation, scientists don't have a clue why the thirteen or seventeen year cycle.
The world is in a rapid and extreme cycle now, and I suppose we will come out the other side, those of us that survive, pretty much unchanged. Funny, that.

Our cicadas are big and loud. Some summers their songs sound like ocean waves.
ReplyDeletewe don't have them here, but we don't have many bug problems. Seen mosquitos as big as ponies in British Columbia though ;)
DeleteThey really aren't too much of a nuisance, and the birds have a feast when they emerge. :)
