luxury??? My aunt was harder on me than she was the rest of the class. You were in there, she never cut me a break. And not many would call bio one of the 2 hardest classes. If you were willing to put forth a small amount of energy you could make an A. You're just so lazy it's beyond belief and just about any class requiring work will seem tough to you.

To bring the topic back to where it was, the cicadas are supposed to be emerging today and tomorrow. They are clumsy things, have a black body, red eyes, and greenish wings. They are about 2 inches long as well, and they should be emerging within the next few days for sure. The National Cicada Service has also reported its first siting in Kentucky last night, so beware!

Cicada report

Post by runnerbyproxy »

Tonight I saw at least a dozen cicadas crawling up a huge oak tree in front of the convent at Villa Madonna, in Northern Kentucky.

Stay tuned for more from the National Cicada Reporting Service ;)

You won't see any 2 inch cicadas...that's huge, they're not birds. They don't get much bigger than an inch and they actually have clear wings...not to be picky.

There have already been sightings locally...just nothing full scale.

I saw a bunch on some trees. they have these red eyes and they leave a exoskeleton behind.I was reading and it said "cicadas achieve astounding population densities, as high as 1.5 million per acre."
