These little guys add a lot of fertilizer to the land when they die.

Those were all their skins weren't they? Since they come out of the ground and molt.

I remember in 1987 my friend and I went out into his backyard and had batting practice with these things using wiffle ball bats. They were everywhere. There were so many that they would land all over you. Good times!

Phenomenal... weird how they come out every 17 years just to mate

I remember in 1990 when they last came out. Things were nasty. I remember riding my bike through a park and they were EVERYWHERE! I didn't want to walk because I literally step on a few every step. I was 10 then. Since then I've gone to college and moved on and that's one headache of Chicago I don't miss (miss the city overall).

They are like a grasshopper swarm up there! We dont get them like that here in the south, just the green ones with blue eyes and you only see a only a couple at a time go up the trees emerging from their skins.
