Guy Babin: From Gradyville, Paradise, USA - on Jar Flies 'If one was aware and observant, you could find the relics of their cast-away exoskeletons stuck to the bark of an old tree; wings, legs, and all. We boys liked to toss them at girls before we learned there were better ways to flirt with the opposite sex - that took us a while unfortunately.... - GUY BABIN By Guy Babin Mr. Fudge, et al: In Maryland these creatures are referred to as cicadas. In the land of my youth in the delta country of south Louisiana, we call them locust. They are a vivid part of my barefoot summer memories down in Louisiana--their rhythmic calls especially late in the afternoon, so intense sometimes it would overwhelm all other sounds reverberating through the live oaks. If one was aware and observant, you could find the relics of their cast-away exoskeletons stuck to the bark of an old tree; wings, legs, and all. We boys liked to toss them at girls before we learned there were better ways to flirt with the opposite sex - that took us a while unfortunately.... While living in Maryland there was a huge hatching a few years back that I was told occurs on a cycle of about seven to eight years. They were everywhere! One of the Washington DC radio stations even had a cicada eating contest. I didn't partake--yuck! Thank you for sharing your find and for your knowledge of our local flora and fauna. I'd really like an opportunity to meet you some fortunate day. I have so many yearnings to learn everything I can about the creatures and vegetation that grace our slice of heaven in the valley along Cool Springs Creek. - Guy Babin Gradyville, Paradise USA Comments re photo 56971 Kentucky Color Jar Flies usually have Dog Days presence This story was posted on 2014-10-08 16:05:51
