Cicadas at base of tree

[corwin11412]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKK­KK! nah, jk :)

[ReaIized]

When i was at school people actually ate them.. strange

[11anthonys]

there eatable...

[BEMANIac]

actually they taste like chicken popcorn

[fsxlover]

i hated these things, my mom left the window open in her car and the inside was filled with em

[Nickdude43]

Man I remember chilling outside at the bus stop in the morning in high school when these guys came and they were just EVERYWEHRE.

[wardog229]

same, i'd get to school and have em in my pockets lol

[XChrisRozarioX]

dude omg someone told me that those cicada shells were dragon fly's shells. but ya thats crazy. You know its going to be very noisy were u live.

[ToddonCapeCod]

Can hear them outside right now.

Irritating.

I remember when they were around back in the 70's. My friend and I would take their shells and stick them all over our shirts and face, and pretend we were being attacked by monster bugs! LOL!

[alexiaNBC]

This happened in my neighborhood too. A lot of trees with masses of cicada shells and carcasses littered all over the roots.

[kirakikumaru]

EWW.

[roygbiv330]

did they all come out from the ground under one tree?

[CreedStapp2005]

they're the cicada shells that fell out of the tree

[addy3dia]

yummmmmmmmmmmmmmy cicadas are so good where is this so i can go get some....i want some fried cicada

[versusterminus19]

Interesting, in Park Ridge IL this was the cicada summer for us and for a few days people were scared to go outside it was terrible

[Meph7447]

Man I live in rockford IL and didnt see these at all..Kinda pissed me off when I heard about them coming out this year.

[ONYXDUELER]

These are stupid animals, i've caught like 100 in a container and i open the lid and they done even try 2 fly away. I think they stay underground too long.

[tenzingyatso]

They are all done mating and it's just time to die thats why they don't fly away dude! Their job is all done, sort of like Salmon swimming upsteam to spawn.

[jewboyiscool]

i love it in illinois and shaking trees they all freak out

[mahindra101]

lol...when i went to Hill Side Berkley..one landed on my eye..another one by my ear..i didnt notice until it made an annoying as chirping sound..

[KrazyJackass]

where is that?

[leovideo123]

this is probly the worst video ever made..just taping cicadas .....

[bizzle187]

hahahaahahahahaha

[pixiegirl1492]

I live in Palos, and I absolutely love them. They are amazing to look at and the unique sounds they make are wonderful. I will miss them when they die off. I think it is amazing that these creatures live for 17 years underground, come out of there shells, and turn into these unique insects.

[daylafaga472]

if anyone is allergic to cicadas- lmao lol

[krapzz]

HOLY SHIT

[DonofDutchesx]

Ack! I think that cicadas are incredibly sick..it's even more disgusting because they travel in PACKS.

[chicagoguy1986]

I LIVE IN ELMHURST TOO!!!!

[PropaSyntax]

Check out Cicada's videos. Comedy!

[icecreamisgwd]

Live in homewood there a lot

[cicadalovebug]

Check them out in the forest preserves -- LaGrange, Countryside. High in protein, low in fat, taste like almonds. Get the t-shirt at cicadalovebug.

[Bonfitto]

those are shells and i ate one today i breaded it up and fryed it and ate it

[DonofDutchesx]

LOL-why!?

[kgf830]

GLENVIEW HERE!!! i have seen MAYBE 5. it seems like this cicada thing is just something to get the public all rowded up

[MozartPwns]

Actually Glenview is pratically the cutoff line for cicadas. There are tons of them in Northfield. It's rather annoying, they all fall off the trees and I literally have to look at the ground whenever I walk outside so that I don't step on em.

[sc2man13]

no really man, im in northfield as well and the dead ones litter the driveway and garage. does this happen anywhere else in the country or is it a chicago thing? I was in southern michigan yesterday and i didn't see one

[billybones468]

sc2man13 there's not one in mich i was kind of wondering if they would come out it must be a chicago thing

[JIME130]

I haven't see one!!!and I don't want to see ir!! euuuu!!

[ALLthatJaZZ2]

i bet they will be on the menu at the taste of chicago. GRIZZLY'S LODGE! I live in chicago and i still haven't heard/seen them. i miss my homies

[reddevils789]

[dhatipo]

[jugggernautttt]

[Asia1813]

[pointmocker]

[WINSOXWIN]

I saw Cicadas in the Chicago sububrs today 5-20-07, I think they are a week early.

[drums2k6]

Some suburbs, mainly west-northwest (oakbrook and elmhurst in particular), have started seeing them. The rest of the area should start seeing these *cough* lovely *cough* creatures within the next 3 days.

I know they don't hurt or bite or anything but bugs are bugs. I'm not rather fond of them either way.

[megamegh]

aww man im gonna move from chicago to get away from that annoying noise!

[ragelbagelproduction]

oh snap??!!

[LoveForAAR]

So, this is what I am looking forward to next week. Great. . . .
