A nice change of pace? You have got to be kidding. I am rarely ever irked out by bugs but cicadas are the freakiest litter F\'ers ive ever seen.
Maybe its because i used to have a phobia of them as a child but still. They are some nasty little buggers (no pun intended).
Did you ever have one of those dirty trailer park type "rat" children in your school when you were a little kid? The ones with the rat tails and always had dirt on their faces. Well in kindergarden there were a couple and they would always chase other kids around with cicada shels. Freaked me out.
So one day i pushed one on the ground because he tried to put one in my face and i got spooked. Stupid teacher made me sit on the side of the playground for half of recess. B*tch.
