I'm sitting thru the latest swarm of 17 year locusts. The woods filled with zillions of these guys, sounds like a giant Star Trek Phaser type sound, while the huge bugs are
literally dripping off of the trees. They spend their entire lives underground, feeding on roots and stuff and emerging en masse 17 years later. They will spend a few weeks buzzing and swarming, feeding every critter that can gobble them down. After breeding in the trees, they drop down and burrow underground until 2036, when the show will be repeated.
Pretty Cool, Huh?
