I just killed an OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD Cicada...I'm CLEARLY going to hell.
HONESTLY

I'm from SOUTH GA and I do "respect the cicadas" but GOOD LORD.

They are annoying as hell and they will make you hurt yourself (if you're a jack a**) trying to avoid them...or killing them (by them flying into you!)!

What to do? They pis* me off like no other bug...I mean junebugs are annoying but at least they arent HUGE and LOUD all the time,

PS - If anyone would like a cicada for their sons'/daughters'/neices'/nephews' bug collection for CLASS let me know...in some parts of our country these weird freakin' bugs would be quite the treat!

I avoid killing bugs myself but not "at any cost"

Jumping jack spiders are very iffy to move so they usually... you know...

It can take them up to 17 years to hatch for the breed in your part of the world.

That is pretty heartless what you did.

Re: I just killed an OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD Cicada...I'm CLEARLY going to hell.
I KNOW!

That makes me mad...or, ok, maybe sad too!

My dog had been pawing at it and then it "attacked" me with its high-pitched insanity and I smacked it down with a cup on the back porch...bc it was acting all 'june-bug-esque' and ridiculous...

Hence my (slight) sarcasm...I feel very bad for killing it....I love the Cicada song in Summer, but Christ Almighty! I probably looked like Yoesemite Sam dodging bullets for that bug not to hurt it in the first place!

OK GLP bug lover faithful...he/she/it fell to ground and is now walking across the deck...seems to be okay. Dog is inside and no doubt trained on every move...

Makes me feel (a little) better...what a strange (but cool and sometimes annoying) bug.

Isn't it funny how loss of sleep turns ordinary upstanding citizens into cold blooded killers.

I must admit, I have stalked several loud birds with my air gun around 3am.

Re: I just killed an OBNOXIOUSLY LOUD Cicada...I'm CLEARLY going to hell.
Don't feel bad OP. I like to tear the hind legs off of Grasshoppers and feed them to a Golden Orb Weaver spider that lives near my house.

Watching the spider cut his/her web, while wrapping 6ish strands of silk from it's spinnerets around the grasshopper, while spinning the insect around from a single uncut strand of webbing is damn impressive.

It's to the point now, that simply going near the spiders web, it begins to swing on it's web at me, expecting to get fed. It's not domesticated, but knows foods coming when it sees me.

Now that makes me the devil as far as Grasshoppers are concerned, but an Angel to the seven legged Golden Orb Weaver.

 Quoting: SeekTruth


Here you go, it looks like this only with a grasshopper. The hind legs are powerful enough to break the web and escape, so I give the spider a helping hand.

[link to www.youtube.com]

That video cuts out before the next part. Where the spider finds a weak point (abdomen, head) to inject its poison.

Then it uses a second single strand to hoist its dinner to the center of the web.

Typically I hate spiders. If a spider is in my house, it usually has a life span of 10 seconds max from the time it's noticed.

But it's kinda chilling to watch. Like a GOOD horror movie.

I was expecting you to say everything looked like it was covered in radiation and the reason there were no people in the video is because the government killed them all so they couldnt talk about fukushima.

Fuck those things.

I've learned to tune them out but every once in a while they will get insanely loud. I'll kick or shake trees if they're making that god awful noise within kicking range.
