Texas Cicadas

Man, the end of summer is here in Dallas, but it is still hot, not as hot as Joe's place, but hot. One thing I looooove about this time of year is the Cicadas. At night I go out and they fly around and I bark and I bark and I try to catch them, fun times, especially at midnight. For some reason my lady always comes out yelling, WTF, get in here and stop barking, sheesh.

Yesterday one got in the house, it was so funny, the lady heard us making a lot of noise in the bedroom and she came in to see what the he*& we were up to. She was mumbling something about "must be causing trouble when I can't see them..." Whatever that means! Anyway, she found us here in corner, and what were we doing?

Chasing the cicada!

Hey, so it flew around and we caught it here,

Then it tried to hide! But we found it!!!!!

And then somehow we killed it....

Look, deader than a doornail!

Hey, this part is really cool, one thing they do is grow and then when they get too big for the shell body thing they are in (hey, I am not some smart bug guy, I just call it like I see it) they attach to something and then they break out, leaving their old shell body behind. We found some attached to our tree, COOL!

See, look below, there is no bug in that body, just a hole in the shell where it came out, bigger and better and ready to fly in our house so I can play with it!


I love cicada season!
