hello....and thank you.
I've watched that happen many times. This year was the first time I noticed some of them crawling up on my car tires in my driveway and then emerging from there. As I add whenever I see a cicada, our turtle loves eating those juicy critters. ooo, ooo...I saw a cicada killer wasp attacking one the other day! This female cicada killer tired while carrying her cicada in flight and landed short of her burrow. She accepted a "lift", walked up the observer's arm carrying her cicada and flew off again. (Pennsylvania, USA). |

Next time we have a Periodic hatch from Brood 10, I am seriously considering making a Cicada Barley Wine:

I wonder if a Japanese manga treatment of the Koran would read from Left to Right.

I don't think two opposites make a (left to) right
All Eastern literature is read in this form, but due to my lackadaisical and general affront to kanji, (there's over 100,000 of them!) I can only read Japanese romaji (words using the 26-letter roman alphabet). So, even though Japanese literature is more appropriately read from top to bottom first, then right to left, I refer to the readings of the comic panels as the inverse of this rule.

Think of how much zircon it's going to take to encrust those!
Think of how much dental floss you could harvest with them, though!

I'm not very good with coordinates, but is that structure somewhere near Indiana, like say 350 miles?

Based on the spirally building next to it, I am suspicious that it is in Dubai.

I could've saved that photo four months ago, but I didn't.
It reminded too much of a wayward shifting dandelion. Uh-oh, I think a fight is about to break out here. be back after it ends.

Jocular.
..something I ran across today, The Schmidt Sting Pain Index: 1.0 Sweat bee: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm. 1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet & reaching for the light switch. 1.8 Bullhorn acacia ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek. 2.0 Bald-faced hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door. 2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue. 2.x Honey bee and European hornet: Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin. 3.0 Red harvester ant: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail. 3.0 Paper wasp: Caustic & burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut. 4.0 Tarantula hawk: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath. 4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel. |
