User ID: 72527717 United States 02/11/2021 01:27 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I don't buy that 17 year BS. Quoting: Justme C'est Moi You hear the damn things every August making a heck of a racket. And every year they tell us the 17 year locusts will emerge this year. I'm not a bug-ologist, but I have a Brian! This ^^^^. They come out every year here and attract copperheads that come out at night to eat them.
