17 year cicada

so, one of the few down sides of living where I do is the noisy, all encompassing insects that happen every 17 years. We are about 2 weeks into it; it feels like it's been a month! The ground is littered with there dead body, holes from where the burrowed out, and outer shells. They live for 3-4 days after crawling from the ground. That is the only time they are hated. All the other days and years, they are fine.
