Cicadas 2013

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

The blue eyed cicada was so rare. I remember kids would trade weird stuff for one.

Huh? Did you grow up on an Indian Native American Reservation?

I grew up in an area full of idiots.

Philadelphia?

Western Maryland. Not many people there reach the national average of intelligence.

You're nowhere near the place he considers Western Maryland.

Yea, Appalachia is Western Maryland to me.

This brood doesn't really affect western PA but posters like Shaf, Froggy, EPP, and I will see them for sure. Heard on the radio this morning that the DC area will see 1 BILLION cicadas PER SQUARE MILE.

Not looking forward to their return one bit.

I remember cutting grass, coming in the house covered in cicadas.

I'm still waiting for the killer bees to get here from Mexico...

Their tour bus broke was hijacked outside San Antonio.

^^^One of the most terrifying GIFs in history, but I think their northward advance has stalled quite a bit, if I am not mistaken.

Shad are you allergic to bees?

Allergic? No. However, I am shamelessly afraid of them, and I will run away flailing like a girl if a bee works its way into my wheelhouse. I'm not afraid of honeybees though, I'll hold a flower while they pollinate it (kinky, amirite?). Anything bigger than that, or yellow jackets, and I can't stay still.

I've been attacked by fire ants; that's enough for me, than you very much.

[Idoit40fans]

Bees aren't that scary, they aren't malicious. Scorpions are the stuff of nightmares on PEDs though.

Looks like western PA will get the brood V in 2016

Elderbug. Does it have a bit of red on it? They flock inside as well, but they generally aren't nearly as annoying as some other pests. Got them real bad on the windows in my other place though.

No Periplaneta americana sightings, after almost 5 months in my apartment.
That's a good sign, but I'm sure they will appear sooner than I want.

[shafnutz05]

On the very warm day yesterday (it hit 89 degrees here), killed two stinkbugs and a wasp inside the house. I am pretty sure the wasps come down from the attic, despite my best efforts to seal the attic drop door (I never, EVER go up there).

That being said, it could always be worse. My sister-in-law's FB status (she lives near UPenn in Philly)

48 hours. 1 centipede. 5 cockroaches. Ants. An empty bag of tostitos and a whole lot of mouse poop in my pantry. And a landlord who needs to be convinced that this is an issue.

Yeah, figures I'd be hit with a biblical plague right before I get out of here for good.

You're leaving the greatest city in America?
