...Mom was probably joking, though. My aunt made a news article saying that the cicadas are coming back, and my side of the family is deathly afraid of bugs.
They are back; Cicadas have returned from their 13-year absence. Cicadas are noisy, red-eyed insects that are found in the southern states; and as far north as Illinois and Indiana. The insects only emerge from underground once every 13 years to mate; after mating the insects die quickly, according to Reuters. That's really good news for those that have a fear of bugs. The males begin the mating chirping by vibrating membranes in their abdomen to attract the females.
I have a hard time believing this, seeing as I'm 15 and I saw them much later than when I was two years old.
On another note, I sure as hell hope we move to Canada, I've always wanted to go there. Since we live in Ohio, it wouldn't be much of a drive, either! :3
