JMM; being a texan you know that we have june bug invasions, cricket invasions and even tarantula invasions on a yearly basis and now that we have fire ants, each of these invasions results in an explosion in the damned ant population. We do have cicadia,s too; but not the 17 year type apparenly. Around here they just make a pleasant racket in the summer time and leave those brown exoskelatons all over the trees fences and screens. I'd rather have the Cicadias than the june bugs and crickets and tarantulas.
