They are starting to come out now. Saw a few today..



Guess what, frederick county MD is ground zero...the worst part of 17 year cicada on the east coast. YAY!



All i can think about is the song "run to the hills" by maiden!

thats ok i think i saw a roach last night. Time to throw out everything i own and nuke the place.

I saw a skunk roaming downtown an hour ago! https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub..._DIR#>/dry.png

I almost hit a skunk an hour ago. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

I hate those things.

Dude arizona is secada paradise, and the thing that sux to is my cats an ******* and always brings them in my room at like 3 in the morning and I wake up to this big bug by my head going buzzz buzzz buzz!! It sux. https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/angry.png

these cicadas come out every 17 years. It's something like 8.8 million of these things per acre in my area. The bugs can put out 80 deceples! thats going to be one hell of a noise.

Get Dramon to hit them while drifting. That'll fix 'em...all...8 million...of them...

they've made a huge deal out of them here, but i havent seen one yet!

god i hate bugs.

https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683561.gif Where do they go for 17 years? do they hibernate for that long? Do they migrate in?

they are annoying as hell...almost as bad as a poorly welded exhaust on a civic...wait!...no!



but they suck here too...keeps me up at night.

They chill underground and munch on roots. Then come out and make the loudest noise ever for 2 weeks. Then they die and leave their carcasses all over the place.

What a grand life...



What do they look like?

they kinda look like big brown grasshopers, with these huge eyes, and when they leave there skin behind it like this clear yellow brown ****.

Oh yeah!



I see that **** around...I always think it's an actual bug and not the skin. They look mean as hell.





Sounds like a Domino's commercial.

LOL dominos haha

I hear they taste like popcorn.

ive never seen a cicada in my life.

i kinda like the noise, im crazy,,,but i hate the bug those things got to be the nastiest bug i have ever seen, and theyre blind so they fly into u and ****, mad annoying

Why not exterminate them all! What good are they?



Do we really need their popcorn flavored carcases laying around.

you have fun killing them all...

hahaha kill them all,,,try killing all of any bug let me know how it goes https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...#>/biggrin.png

Im sure if people exterminated them while they were dormant it would have an impact. I mean come on, you have 17 years to do it.



It would probably have an affect on natures balance, like cause a surge of african dung beetles or something.

I havn't seen any here yet this time but if you already have them in your area I would keep an eye on you rad/oil coolers(our cars are low enough to act like a vaccum cleaner esp.the 3rd gen) to make sure that you don't overheat your rx-7 due to some dead bug carcasses being in it

so you are going to dig them up under about every single tree on the east coast?

agent orange the rivers!

i remember the last time those things came out. I was a little kid, and I would grab the shells off of the trees and throw them on my girl cousins.



it was funny as hell at 4 years old......



but these things are nothing. I'll show you a bug to contend with here in a month or so when they come out. They are yellow and red and black grasshoppers, some get up to about 7" long. The mostly stay in the grass in the marsh by the river, but tons of them still make their way twards streeets, and houses. I'll get a pic whenever I go fishing down there again.

Yes....I am dedicated.

Could you take care of the pollen while you're at it?

i see the shell things when i goto my dad's im glad we don't have them on the west coast anoying little bugs

dak, your sig!!



"civics are like tampons, every ***** has one"



LMFAO https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...IR#>/bigok.gif https://www.nopistons.com/forums/pub...1047683894.gif

If you think we have it bad in a car, imagine the motorcycle riders. These things are about 4x the size of a Japanese beetle that infest everyones gardens. Imagine cruising along on your bike and hitting something like that at 60 mph...

yea you aint kidding. I had a bee fly up my helmet going down RT55 one day, god did that suck.

i think we should make a local carwash owner a millionaire on rotorfest.



since we'll have crushed bugs all over our bumpers on the way down

yea, why do you think I'm so worried about the huge grasshoppers byu the river



thats where I do most of my riding. I have a windshield, but they still manage to come in from the side at exactly the right time. and beetles hurt at 60. I think one of these 6" long grasshoppers might just knock me off the damn bike!!
