The cicadas are comming!!!
fishing bait does sound like a well idea..
i wonder if redfish will bite?
theres cicadas all summer long in florida, every year.. is this just for the upper states or something?
wiki-quote-
"Most cicadas go through a life cycle that lasts from two to five years. Some species have much longer life cycles, e.g. the Magicicada goes through a 13- or even 17-year life cycle. These long life cycles are an adaptation to predators such as the cicada killer wasp and praying mantis, as a predator could not regularly fall into synchrony with the cicadas. Both 13 and 17 are prime numbers, so while a cicada with a 15-year life cycle could be preyed upon by a predator with a 3- or 5-year life cycle, the 13- and 17-year cycles allow them to stop the predators falling into step."
some weird evolution.. all to avoid predators?.. interesting
