Any of those big bugs out yet?

A thread over on CycleForums just reminded me of that 17 year cycle where those Cicades bugs come out. Think this will be an issue at Cycle Jam?

 

They're awesome!!!

We can tie threads to their legs and have air races!!!

 

If those things are out in full force can you imagine the mess everyone will have to clean off their bikes. I'll definately hide out in the tower all weekend.

 

"I'm coming to get you Paige!!!!"

 

Makes for great grillin

 

Those things look hideous!!!!

 

I'm bringing my alien ray gun...those things are huge!

 

Wait to pass judgement until you've spent a weekend at Nelson Ledges. :wow:

 

I really don't think these will present a problem at Nelson, the mosquitos will eat them

 

Now THAT's funny

Damn BUGS

 

And you thought the rain/mud was bad last year.

 

I heard that there were a few spotted at Turner Field last weekend. They have no sense of direction and fly into anything.

 

I thought I saw one the other day.






It just turned out to be some clown who works for the DEA.

 

I saw an overachiever a week or so ago. But we have NOTHING in the Northern part of Southeastern Ohio!

Of course it did rain a bit today so maybe they are lazy and waiting for some easy ground to burrow out of!


My question is: WHAT IN THE HELL IS THEIR PURPOSE????

I mean everything on Earth is here for a reason. But all I can find on these things is that they EAT, MATE, and DIE??? Oh I guess I should be asking why I am here then????

 

The fun thing is to grab those front legs, hold on to the backs and pop their heads right off!

 

Them's good eatin
