Weird in a place this cold, we don't see many cicadas, but today during a big storm a cicada buzzed onto my balcony. It's been there for about three hours, and has moved a bit but not much. I'm wondering if anyone knows if it is able to fly back down from the fourth floor, whether it is nocturnal and just sleeping, or whether it's probably dead. Strangest question I've ever posted.

  1. They live 17 years or so underground, when they emerge and fly their lives are almost over. They can't even eat, they only live to breed and then die.


  2. I think their big and nasty and annoying. I had one on my patio, for a day Hit it with a broom, it flew away.  

  3. catch him and moosh him into paste, then boil him into tea, they are amazing aphrodisiacs
