I found something enjoyable about 17-year cicadas.

We've been making hay all week, and I've actually enjoyed watching them land, for a second or so, on the mufflers of the various tractors I've been on.

Akron Beacon Journal has a picture and article showing him eating them. Says they are good for you.

Last time they came around, I thought something was coming apart on the haybine whenever one
of them buzzed me

Might make you into a Rip Van Winkle and sleep for 17 years, lol.

When we were kids, we'd catch them and stick a wheat straw up his hind end and turn him loose. He'd fly straight up as far as you could see him. The old timers said he'd fly all the way to the sun, and of course, we believed them. After we got around the bigger guys, they'd stick a straight pin through a cigarette paper, then stick the pin up his rear end. You could see the cigarette paper a lot better than the wheat straw. It would turn into a tiny white dot in the sky, then disappear. There's probably a special punishment waiting for me someday.
