Rural/Farm Life
Related: About this forumHandling the Cicada invasion....
Daughter lives in (what passes for) rural New Jersey, Hunterdon County. She has 12 chickens, garden plants, a dog, an indoor cat and a feral cat AND LOADS OF CICADAS.
She puts food out for the feral and noticed that food bowl remained full. This went on for several days. Yesterday, the cat was spotted, hunting and crunching down on Cicada after Cicada.
Crunch, crunch, crunch.......

I went back to kinda chase them away. Just goofing around. Thing is when a whole bunch of them fly away they piss on you. They won that round.
