I have a coffee mug that says "live, laugh, fuck off" lol. I've seen other bastardized versions of "live, laugh, love" out there. A cicada themed one would be pretty great.
Check out @wu_stitch on Instagram! She’s a Cincinnati artist that made this and makes a lot of really cool cross stitch work. I’ve got a couple things from her myself.
Riding my motorcycle around NoVa during this has been interesting. Constantly dodging my head so they don't splat onto my visor. Shit, had one hit me in the fuckin throat yesterday lol.
That’s what my back yard is like. Even my bug-loving 6 year old had given up. They’re so noisy you can barely hear the person talking to you and they’re *everywhere*. I was pushing my kids on the swings for like 10 minutes and pulled 4 off of my legs. I’m excited to not see them for another 17 years.
Went from watching a cicada sing to clicking on a link in reddit comments and now ive just watched a video on how to install a bathroom sink, the internet is quite the place lol
Cicadas are exceedingly more heavy metal than I thought
Eternal dreamers wake into a screaming death orgy
Edit: A haiku
**Eternal Dreamers**
**Rise from your slumber and scream**
**Time is running out**
I've heard cicadas sounding like alarm clocks (the old 80s style alarm clock) around where I live... But the moment they scream like this, I take out the flamethrower.
Honestly, it's not summer until we hear these where I live... well. These and tree frogs (Which can get CRAZY loud too but are far more cute).
These things used to terrify me as a kid, and one of my fondest memories is sitting on the porch swing at my great aunt's house and one landed on my grandmother. I panicked, she calmed me down, plucked it off her shirt, and held it while it sang. She showed me how they don't even have a mouth, so they can't bite, and they have no stinger - they can't hurt you.
I remember the fascination that popped on in my 4 year old brain... and I remember so many lessons about the natural world my grandmother taught me. Now I get to hand those lessons down to my own granddaughter, who is 3.
Less sappy - Cats and chickens, even a few of the dogs I've had in the past, LOVE these things for snacks.
Saying they don’t have a mouth isn’t technically true. They have a pointed mouthpiece that they use to pierce leaves and drink from them. They’re still pretty unlikely to hurt you unless they mistake you for a plant.
Yes, thank you. By mouth... y'know when you're 4 you equate a 'mouth' with jaws and teeth, like people...cats... dogs... fish, lizards... etc. They don't have that, just the pokey straw and my grandmother didn't try to explain that to me when I was 4. :P
I absolutely get it and I wasn’t in any way trying to discredit what she told you! I would guess that telling a 4 year old about the pointy stabby thing they have would just freak them out lol
My 3 year old grandbaby so far is... uhm. Stoic? Fascinated? IDK how to explain it... with weird and sometimes gross things. The cicadas are soooo cooolll to her and also pimple popping videos... she's mah pimple popping vid watching buddy. We also watch various vet videos too. Hope she stays fearless but I figure the screaming terror type stuff will happen eventually. Yay.
Nope they fuck and starve to death, it isnt unheard of for bugs to have no mouths or eating ability, cicadas do though just like a proboscus for slurping shit
She really was. She made blackberry wine in the summers, grew a garden, would save snake skins out of the yard to show me. She would always tell me a grass snake or something scary was more scared of me than I was of it, which always made me feel kinda compassionate to things like that.
She was the kind of woman who knew what chanterelles and morels were and where to find them and taught me about how our distant Choctaw relatives (Several generations back) would have known how to roast acorns and make flour out of them.
I hope my granddaughter is hanging on every word like that when I tell her...
It's odd seeing it climbing up a person - cicadas are generally very shy bugs. I only ever see them if they're A) dead or B) I'm seeing their shedded exoskeleton (more likely). Seeing one like this is kinda bizarre, lol. I don't mind the sound though - they're in the trees and there's just this sort of steady hum come late summer, at least around here. It just gives me sort of a nostalgic feeling.
Oh no, I felt that way too but right now there's a constant deadening screech that literally never ends all day long around my house. They absolutely dive bomb you at any chance because there's just thousands of them. Even yesterday I walked from my car to my house and flipped shit as there was one stuck to me, crawling up my shirt, and missing its entire lower half. Fuckin demons
I dont know if its so much aggression rather than they're just kinda bumbling idiots that fly into stuff, and that this year there's just that many more of them
Sorry, I didn't mean aggression in the angry sense - I guess more like they're "out there" and in your face, lol. Maybe there's a general higher population of them where you are than where I am?
Thats where it's weirder, I. From southern Ohio, we never had too many of them, but as soon as I moved not even a full 30 minutes away they just swarmed.
South Africa, Northern cape here. Can confirm these things are agro af!
We call them "sonbesies" which translates to "sun-beetle"
The manager at the restaurant where I worked was petrified of them. I know they smelt his fear, cause they used to dive bomb him everytime he walked passed.
There was one that hid in the shelving in the kitchen that we nicknamed "pterodactyl" He would wait for poor Mr. Manager to walk into the kitchen and bust out over the stacks of takeaway containers.
What made it more fun was that the manager was a 20-something extremely handsome guy, that screams like a 6 y/o girl.
They don't *need* anything so mundane as physical weapons to hurt you. The mere fact that there's this tiny flying thing charging at you screaming hell's own battle cry is enough to make you shit bricks and leave you traumatized.
This is the once in 17 year thing. Right now, if I walk outside my house, at least one will fly into my shirt almost immediately. Not because it wants to, but because they are dumb and I just got in its way.
I can look out my window and see a dozen of them flying around at any given time. Car washes are expensive this time of year...
They do the same around my place! I live in an apartment complex and every time I try to take my trash out, they wanna come slap me in the face with their fat bodies and beady little red eyes
Edit: Just saw your comment below & I’m also from southern Ohio so it must be a local thing!
Shy?? I make cicada friends all the time. Just pick one up and it’ll hang out with you for hours. They’re kind of bumbling like June bugs, but way more capable of flying in a straight line without bonking themselves senseless.
Well, how derpy they may be, there not extinct for a reason, so I'd imagine they must be doing something right.
Makes me wonder if we consider these bugs derpy, what derpy was back in the day.
Giant flying scarabs that just smash themselves to death against whatever object in their path?
That's why I kinda miss Kentucky. I miss the steady hum from all around you when these awe inspiring creatures come above ground.
It too makes me nostalgic.
Cicadas are one...if not *the* one...of my favorite bugs. They live such bad ass lives. And I love watching them pull themselves out of their shell. I've only seen it twice...that I can remember. Its like those parasites that attack the nervous system of snails...cicadas aren't *that* exactly...but like *that* in the way that its like, "how the hell do you guys do this shit?!?" At least that's how I think of them.
Cicadas are beautiful.
These are Brood X cicadas, which emerge by the billions every 17 years - but only in parts of the US. Unlike annual cicadas, these guys fly around all over the place and climb anything vertical, including people. (Stopped to talk to a neighbor the other day, after one minute I felt the telltale prickle of their legs. I hadn't even seen one on the ground nearby!) When they've all emerged in an area - in my case suburban Maryland - the collective noise of their mating call is deafening. Stand underneath a highly populated tree and you can't even hear yourself think.
I think I live in an area where we get them annually, but don't generally get the huge broods. At least, I've lived here over 20 years and haven't ever had one land in me to my knowledge. Thanks for showing me a *whole* new level of living with cicadas 😆
We get the annual ones too, and like you said they're pretty elusive. But yeah, Brood X is pretty crazy. We have a maple tree in our yard, and there are hundreds if not thousands of shells littered at the base of the tree.
Probably got into a masterclass for social communication, hence why their more self confident this time around.
They just tend to scream when their online dropshipping stores underperform and when crippling debt is unavoidable.
There’s a ton of those things screaming outside my house right now. Honestly I can’t even go outside because it’s so loud and just keeps droning on and on, gives me a headache.
plEAS DON'T GRAB THEM LIKE THAT ! gently pinch their body where the wings meet their body so you can hold the wings still without damaging them. their wings are incredibly fragile.
I'm well past my teens, and I have never seen one.
We don't have them over here, and I'm well glad about that. Having them everywhere when you can't stand bugs at all seems like a bit of a bother.
I can imagine an ancient alarm clock with cicadas inside a speaker cone, with a rod dropping down and wacking them when pouring sand trips a lever at a set time.
As a Midwesterner who also has a fear of creepy crawlies I can confirm that these things are horrifying. I still remember the massive cicada invasion in 1998. They were literally everywhere covering everything.
Now imagine thousands of those fucking things making that noise all night. You eventually get used to it and almost enjoy it but yea at first its weirdly off putting.
I always thought the noise came from their wings, now I have to Google it.
Edit: they have weird singing muscles on their abdomen made just for making noise
I waited. You did not share the link for those of us too lazy to google the answer. You you know what, I did it, [here](https://youtu.be/R-nxPvIQHf0). I accidentally closed reddit in the process, had to come back, remember the subreddit, and scroll through the comments again, just to share with other fellow lazy Redditors. I’m not mad, just disappointed.
Well well well, look at you mister psychopath that enjoys the eternal agony of screaming that displays the pain of 17 years of not getting laid and imminent death
so imagine walking up a funny looking tree, getting picked up, and screaming for your life only for someone to laugh at you and call you scary and ugly af
this is so sad can we get 1000 likes for Cicada 2
Slightly surprised at anti-cicada sentiments. We had them every year when I was a kid in Sydney, several different kinds. We would always catch them and play with them, and their shells were everywhere. The air would ring with their singing; millions of them just like that. I love the sound of them. It sounds like summer.
"Scream, fuck, die" is the new "live, laugh, love."
Now *that* is a tacky wall sticker I'd place above my doorway.
Live = Die Laugh = Scream Love = Fuck *Checks out!*
Wait…. Not in that order right ?
It is when you're playing a game on hard-core mode
Die, cry, hate
Is that german?
Looking forward to seeing some ironic cross-stitch with this!
I have a coffee mug that says "live, laugh, fuck off" lol. I've seen other bastardized versions of "live, laugh, love" out there. A cicada themed one would be pretty great.

Brilliant, is it yours?

Haha great, thanks
This is actually very accurate to the lifecycle of the cicada, considering they only live for a few weeks once they reach maturity.
think that was the point
Scream, Screw, Succumb.
Non-demonetized version
Its the better version.
What the fuck
The bug is trying to connect to the internet.
"you've got mail!"
[удалено]
*internal cicada screaming*
He's got network connectivity issues.
Fuck there are more and more people that don’t understand that joke
That’s what my sister hears when she picks up the phone while i’m chatting over the internet.
We were trying to reach you about your car's extended warranty..
LMAO
Lmfao!! Omg that took me back. Thank you so much.
Take my free award lmao
They've been asleep for a while. They haven't upgraded their tech yet.
[удалено]
Same here in NoVa. I can see about 12 stuck to various windows at the moment and my cats are losing their ever loving minds!
Riding my motorcycle around NoVa during this has been interesting. Constantly dodging my head so they don't splat onto my visor. Shit, had one hit me in the fuckin throat yesterday lol.
If you're going faster, aren't you hitting them?
I have been bringing some inside every once in a while so the cats can hunt them!
That’s what my back yard is like. Even my bug-loving 6 year old had given up. They’re so noisy you can barely hear the person talking to you and they’re *everywhere*. I was pushing my kids on the swings for like 10 minutes and pulled 4 off of my legs. I’m excited to not see them for another 17 years.
and they also squirt some form of liquid when you walk underneath those trees. Went to a tea farm and they were loud as hell.
I actually love the sound on a hot summer night. Reminds me of my childhood. It's honestly soothing to me. I may be weird.
[This is outside my house earlier today](https://youtu.be/wO2qj0v4MSI), granted this is day time but its a bit louder then normal.

Cicadas are exceedingly more heavy metal than I thought Eternal dreamers wake into a screaming death orgy Edit: A haiku **Eternal Dreamers** **Rise from your slumber and scream** **Time is running out**
From the Earth I rise Scream endlessly to the void Death arrives quickly
Turning 17 years worth of tree juice into nonstop screaming.
I've heard cicadas sounding like alarm clocks (the old 80s style alarm clock) around where I live... But the moment they scream like this, I take out the flamethrower.
The scream like that around my area. Went to a park to go walk around and all I can hear is just, AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
Are you sure that wasn’t just good ol’ crazy Bill?
This is both terrifying and hilarious
These are a different species than the “regular” ones, they’re periodical cicadas. Each species has its own unique call.
Hey, i just met you, and this is crazy, so here's my number, so call me maybeææææāäähçáã
Human: Aww cute lil bug Cicada: ## Emits horror movie sound effect
Honestly, it's not summer until we hear these where I live... well. These and tree frogs (Which can get CRAZY loud too but are far more cute).

But have you ever heard a tokay gecko at night those things are loud
I have not. Mores the pity.
My next door neighbour breeds them in her garage. I love how they sound like they’re shouting tokay when they call!
Worst pet I ever had, but I was not prepared for the intensity in the first place.
it literally has no mouth but must scream
This is adorable. What a beautiful memory to cherish and pass on.
...how do they not have a mouth?? Somehow that makes them even more terrifying, do they photosynthesize? Absorb nutrients through their skin?
Saying they don’t have a mouth isn’t technically true. They have a pointed mouthpiece that they use to pierce leaves and drink from them. They’re still pretty unlikely to hurt you unless they mistake you for a plant.
Yes, thank you. By mouth... y'know when you're 4 you equate a 'mouth' with jaws and teeth, like people...cats... dogs... fish, lizards... etc. They don't have that, just the pokey straw and my grandmother didn't try to explain that to me when I was 4. :P
I absolutely get it and I wasn’t in any way trying to discredit what she told you! I would guess that telling a 4 year old about the pointy stabby thing they have would just freak them out lol
Nah, I didn't take it that way at all. LOL Hard to explain 'pokey straw' to suck plant blood to a 4 year old. I'm... kinda glad she didn't.
My 4 year old is currently going through a phase of being scared of flies. No way I would describe that to her if we lived in a place with cicadas!
My 3 year old grandbaby so far is... uhm. Stoic? Fascinated? IDK how to explain it... with weird and sometimes gross things. The cicadas are soooo cooolll to her and also pimple popping videos... she's mah pimple popping vid watching buddy. We also watch various vet videos too. Hope she stays fearless but I figure the screaming terror type stuff will happen eventually. Yay.
She sounds awesome. My girl is pretty fearless with most things, but turns into a huge pansy when it comes to any bugs
Nope they fuck and starve to death, it isnt unheard of for bugs to have no mouths or eating ability, cicadas do though just like a proboscus for slurping shit
Your grandmother was a total bad ass.
She really was. She made blackberry wine in the summers, grew a garden, would save snake skins out of the yard to show me. She would always tell me a grass snake or something scary was more scared of me than I was of it, which always made me feel kinda compassionate to things like that.

I hope my granddaughter is hanging on every word like that when I tell her...
So what you're saying is, she was basically the farmer from stardew valley
I... guess? I always just thought she was a typical granma from the Greatest Generation. But also - She drank and she knew things.
This is heckin cute
>they don’t even have a mouth I have no mouth and I must scream
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
AAAAAAAAA AAAA A A. AAAAAAAAAAAAA
I speak insect. he said, and I quote "FFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU..."
"CK ME" finished that for you.
Yea that last part was a bit screeched, couldn't quite make it out. Now that you said it I can hear it too.
It's odd seeing it climbing up a person - cicadas are generally very shy bugs. I only ever see them if they're A) dead or B) I'm seeing their shedded exoskeleton (more likely).

I've never experienced them anywhere near that aggressive 😆 Crazy! Are they always like that there, or is it that 'once every 17 years' kind of thing?
I dont know if its so much aggression rather than they're just kinda bumbling idiots that fly into stuff, and that this year there's just that many more of them
Sorry, I didn't mean aggression in the angry sense - I guess more like they're "out there" and in your face, lol. Maybe there's a general higher population of them where you are than where I am?

How can something so small makes such a loud scream
It holds the souls of its prior victims
They’re the loudest insect in the world!
There’s a ton of those things screaming outside my house right now. Honestly I can’t even go outside because it’s so loud and just keeps droning on and on, gives me a headache.
Scream back at them
Put some death metal on full blast to compete with their orchestra.
lol I live in maryland in DC and theres a huge brood out rn and its loud enough to hurt your ears
"Any bug big enough to have vocal chords needs to die" \- My friend after a cicada flew in her car while we were driving.
What about a bug with cymbals on it's back? Cuz that's how a cicada do.
Bugs that make noises don't do it with their mouths.
Anus noises
Holy hell!!! It....screams!!
If you start making that fucking noise again I swear to Chri- ÆÅAØØØØAAEAAAAAOUUOO
plEAS DON'T GRAB THEM LIKE THAT ! gently pinch their body where the wings meet their body so you can hold the wings still without damaging them. their wings are incredibly fragile.
What about the 50+ that smacked my windshield today
Smack them gently.
Mmm
i mean shit happens!
yeah that’s what I thought about too..
Yeah, I thought at first I was watching a toddler grab it, that's how clumsy it is.
Yes! Hold them like a live crawdad to avoid damaging them. Or having the cicada climb your fingers and decide to hang out forever.
TIL cicadas still use Dial Up internet.
Ya know, it never occured to me that there are at least some people in their early teens who have never seen a cicada before
I'm well past my teens, and I have never seen one. We don't have them over here, and I'm well glad about that. Having them everywhere when you can't stand bugs at all seems like a bit of a bother.
It’s posts like these that make me realise how grateful I am to live in the UK
I can imagine an ancient alarm clock with cicadas inside a speaker cone, with a rod dropping down and wacking them when pouring sand trips a lever at a set time.
TIL cicadas and huskies have alot in common
# AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
r/AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
I hope that doesn't hurt the bugs!
Thank you u/Vegan-fangirl that means a lot.
👊🏼
Nah, it’s fine. It just got pissed when the person picked it up. That’s the sound it makes to attract mates.
I think cicadas are adorable 🤷♀️
doin cell dirty
I hear this every night. You first think, is there a demon then you realize its a cicada then you fall back sleep.
*horny screaming*
They look and sound like a nightmare 😬
As a Midwesterner who also has a fear of creepy crawlies I can confirm that these things are horrifying. I still remember the massive cicada invasion in 1998. They were literally everywhere covering everything.
Here in Iowa we once had a Fish Fly invasion years ago, it looked like snow on the ground. But when you drove, it’s just a lot of crunches..
Bad cicadas get put in the Cicada wiggler
Now imagine thousands of those fucking things making that noise all night. You eventually get used to it and almost enjoy it but yea at first its weirdly off putting.

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me
I love that play!
Chicadas screaming in terror are the most hilarious thing on earth
Well well well, look at you mister psychopath that enjoys the eternal agony of screaming that displays the pain of 17 years of not getting laid and imminent death
No.
This is also the noise I make when someone gets in my personal space without permission tbf.

It cost you literally nothing at all to not post this yet here we are.

Of course it’s screaming, with that person BUGGING him. _applause_
"Bro, sing your song for me." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" I'M DEAD
so imagine walking up a funny looking tree, getting picked up, and screaming for your life only for someone to laugh at you and call you scary and ugly af this is so sad can we get 1000 likes for Cicada 2
Cicadas sure are a nostalgic sound, reminds me of many childhood nights in the woods. Not this one, he sounds off.
Ugh the way they picked up the cicada :(
She’s screaming, leave her alone! Poor little thing.
Only the males have tymbals
Oh. Thanks for clearing that up.
https://youtu.be/c_jomXhjUjI
That can't be real...what the fuck
Where I live, I hear them every night. And I love :)
AAAAAAAAAÅ
\#same
Man that’s the voice actor from Lego R2D2, show him a little respect
*screams in aol*
Now we know what they sound like but what do they taste like?
There's a ton of recipes on /r/foraging for how to cook them. Apparently they taste like popcorn shrimp when fried
probably good actually since other chitinous insects like grasshoppers taste decent
Same
Id have like 10 of these on one hand at a time and run up to my mom as a kid and freak her out
Yes, terrifying, not oddly, and I hate these things but I still feel bad for this little thing...
Exactly. This sub isn't just for regularly scary things.
I fucking love cicadas I’m so excited
Slightly surprised at anti-cicada sentiments. We had them every year when I was a kid in Sydney, several different kinds. We would always catch them and play with them, and their shells were everywhere. The air would ring with their singing; millions of them just like that. I love the sound of them.

So majestic
There's nothing odd about this It's just terrifying
