I didn't see a single cicada while in NY/CT this past several days, but this is funny as heck anyway (thanks for the link, Craig!). Here's a sample:
Do Cicadas make that loud buzzing sound to attract a mate? No, that is a common myth. Our research indicates that sound is actually a battle cry that roughly translates as Kill the Humans. When you hear that sound, take cover! It means the killing spree is about to begin.
