  My dogs think they are great snacks.

To me they are the sound of summer.  I enjoy listening to them sing in the oak trees.  They do have a weird prehistoric appearance.  :-)

              Thanks for the info, I will keep a closer eye on things.  The only noticeable "damage" if you could call that are the holes in the ground that I believe they arose from!  Strange little things...

                A few years ago, Fruit Varieties Journal had an article documenting
                cicada gashes in pear limbs as an entry point for fireblight
                infections.  Some pears resistant to blight entering through blooms
                are much less resistant to the blight-causing bacteria entering
                through bark injury.  'Seckel' is one example; we lost ours after a
                severe August hailstorm.

                Not that I'm recommending spraying for cicadas, just pointing out that
                under the right conditions, they can cause problems.  They took out a
                number of limbs on our favorite filbert tree, during our last big
                hatch.
