Any day now, billions of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl out of the earth after 17 years underground and overrun the East Coast. They will arrive in such numbers that people from North Carolina to Connecticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more. But ominous as that sounds - along with scientists' horror-movie name for the infestation, Brood II - they're harmless. These insects won't hurt you or other animals. At worst, they might damage a few saplings or young shrubs. [ link to www.weather.com] Ok East Coast what else |

Too bad they don't eat stink bugs. The Northeast has been full of stink bugs the last few years. BirdY |

Believe me I remember the last infestation. They were all over the place and when they started dropping dead they were all over the sidewalks. It was disgusting. Unfortunately that year, we also had an infestation of bats that came from only God knows where. They would hang from tree branches in gangs and I'd come home late from work and there they were like black rubber sheets ... It was horrible. |
