Cicadas...Ugh!

At the end of May, the cicadas started to appear... When I saw the first one, I showed Noah and we talked about it. Then I realized they were literally everywhere! We could hardly walk through the grass without stepping on them. It was a little disgusting. Eventually they got so noisy it was miserable to be outside. When I was a kid, I collected the skins. Kind of disgusting! My mom said she did too when she was a kid. Noah didn't collect them, but he liked to knock them off with a stick.

I captured nearly every stage of the icky cicadas shedding their skins. They're nearly all gone, thankfully! There are a few still hanging around.
