Each cicada lives about only 2 weeks, but new ones keep coming out.

Stinkbugs are gross.

The vision of a house covered in cicadas gives me the willies!!

We have stink bugs bad here in Tennessee. They are gross...and STINKY!!

My cousin lives about 4 or 5 miles away from me and she said the cicadas were all over her house. I haven't seen any....yet. She lives in an area with more trees than I do. One cicada is one cicada too many for me!!!!! I don't like bugs and these bugs are too big and ugly.

Don't mind them or the noise, but I don't like them if I am on the mower..... they are attracted to it and do "body slams" into me while I am mowing!

Ewwwwwww. They are ALL OVER parts of my area. I mean...their nasty shells are completely covering fences, trees, and some people's yards. LUCKILY, (knocks on all the wood in my house), there aren't any in my yard! But there are a lot of birds in my yard nesting so there are tons of dead ones lying around, dismembered.

Gross to look at but I'm just glad they're not flying around, landing on my head. -vomit-

Also, for some reason...I don't hear them. Must be a silence ordinance in NJ LOL.

LOL! Luckily we are having a cold snap that seems to have slowed down the cicadas. It's quiet now.

The last time these things were out, I remember sunbathing in my yard with friends and the gross little things were flopping all over us.

They must not smell good because my doggies take a quick sniff and keep walking.
