My first cicada

There’s been a lot of buzz in the area about the 17-year cicadas, but I hadn’t seen one yet. Until this morning.

I went out to get the paper, when something bounced off my head and onto the front stoop. It was a cicada. I have no idea where it came from, perhaps the door jam. Let me just say that it was ugly, and I’m not looking forward to the full infestation.
