Zoiks!Β I just realized I didn't have you on my watch list, which is why I didn't know you were into fractals!Β You slipped through my net, sorry about that!
Just fixed that.

When I was a child i used to climb trees with my cousins to catch cicadas ...there used to be a season when all of them came out at once.

Yes!Β Summer time.Β It is that time here now, you can hear the cicadas everywhere.Β I think some years they are more numerous than others though.

I get the sense that the seasons can be rather extreme in Canada.Β You'll often see Canadian artists online in winter (perhaps practically snowed into their homes), but when summer comes?Β Hardly a sight to be seen!

We had oversized cicadas when we lived on the US East Coast. I used to call them face eating bugs--I have no idea why. That's what sprang to mind the first time I saw one.

Oh ok - well, generally speaking they don't eat humans at all.Β If they tried to have a bit of a munch it would be because they were confused, maybe you were wearing a colour similar to their favourite vegetable or something.Β Once they realized their mistake they wouldn't try to keep munching.

No, nothing on me. It had landed on the car of a friend of mine and just sat there for hours! I gave the car a wide berth the whole time we were at their house!!!

Well, you are not the only one - my daughter is afraid of them too - took all her courage to look at my photo of one!

Yeah, my daughter went through that whole stage of crying at the sight of bug pictures. We had to do the tough love thing with her!!

Lol - don't know where they get it from, I never modeled fear of anything but white tail spiders, and only then because their bites can necrotize the skin and they have a habit of jumping into the laundry.Β Though some argue they don't even cause the rotting skin, I don't know.

We looked these buggers up after you sent this. I hate to tell you, Jo, but I WON'T be visiting you anytime soon!!!

Blame the blimmin' Aussies, it's an import.Β They have got the market cornered on dangerous stuff over there.

We have memes posted in our house that read, Australia, Β where everything wants you to die!

Yes, this is very true!Β Drop bears are particularly ferocious!Β They don't like New Zealanders in particular - video evidence!!!!!
