I'll have to look up the difference in a minute! We had a bout of locusts come through TN when I was little and I remember walking outside and getting hit in the head with them sometimes! It totally hurt! Weird little creatures. Here I think we have cicadas. My kids LOVE playing with the empty shells! They pretend like they are people. It sort of grosses me out, but hey, picking up bug parts is a valuable life-long skill, so I just grin and watch them! Hmmm, I think I get cicadas and locusts mixed up.

The crispy cases they leave all over our tree trunks, and every time they hear one sing it's loud metallic song its "mama! I hear a 'cada!" :) My kids love cicadas.

The first time I heard them was on your wedding day. We PA folk don't have such creatures. I guess it's too cold. That sound drives me crazy. The first time I heard them was on your wedding day.
