Question: I was just wondering if those ugly insects can hurt humans or children?
Kindly response #1: You must have been born yesterday if you do not remember Cicadas. No, they don't hurt anyone. They are simply a nuisance with that darn noise they make. They're just a nuisance. I knew the plague would come soon because God is not pleased with all this bickering over the topic of his name. SHSnLMD2702
Kindly response #2: Most people aren't afraid of them, but those are the one's that havent been bitten yet. The warnings out there like this AOL represented one don't really tell you the whole truth. What they don't want you to know is the freakiest part about these little insects. As a cicada lands on you it has a small tube in the anus that usually dumps what needs to be dumped. BUT, when it is time to lay the eggs that same tube can dump an average of about 8 tiny tiny eggs. This is the part that is really going to burst your bubble. When a cicada does lay its eggs, it doesn't just LAY them, it injects them. You are probably saying thats impossible. Well ask all the people that have been bitten by one. When the cicada lands on you the anus tube actually latches on to you like a leech, usually on the back of your neck so you dont notice the little critter. It then injects the eggs and there they sit to hatch in your skin. Sounds like a crock of shit right? Well you know those times that you notice that you get a new fresh mole on the back of your neck and just let it be? Well have the time that is usually a cicada egg sac turning ripe under your skin. Thats right. I didn't stutter. The insecta Cicadas has the ability to disguise its eggs as a dark as a mole on a human's skin. It also does this on other small animals as well (Dogs, cats, etc.) Well I'm going to give you the tip that may sound ridiculous, but exceed with caution. When I got the cicada mole on my neck my friend dug it out with a small pocket knife. I was freaking out so much because I didn't believe him, but then he showed me the developing baby cicadas and then I just had a feeling of disgust. Good luck and be aware this Cicada Season. screamminsilence

lol what is with all the posts on the Cicadas? lol good reading, thanks for all the new info. I have a friend who is deathly afraid of them and she totaly freaks out every summer they come out. I will have to tell her the bit about how they lay thier eggs. It wont help her panic attacks over them but it sure will be funny to watch her squirm.
Oh gosh, this one just grossed me out. People have to endure the banshee-like noise they make and also serve as incubators for them?!
mara darling - they are harmless ugly neanderthal bugs - they do not burrow into the skin - i think he got the idea from an old star trek episode....just to play on others fears..he just posted that to play on other people fears..crazy, eh?
