Argh! I HATE cicadas! Insecticide is a waste because it kills everything indiscriminately, but there's got to be some way to kill them efficiently. Why do nasty diseases always attack harmless things like trees? Why can't there be one for cicadas? Maybe this is a good genetic engineering project.

Well, there's always the cicada wasp {click}. There's a lot more of these guys around, 'cause there's more cicadas, 'cause people are doing less pesticide broadcasting over the past 10-20 years.

Wish I still had a cat, she'd be pouncing all over them on the lawn as soon as they emerged. That was one happy cat -- full belly and she got to kill something.
