They're heeeeere.....and we can't avoid them, so we decided to document them...
The shed exoskeletons are in heaps around the trees......
and on the leaves.....so where are all the cicadas?
Kate lets us know what she thinks cicadas look like.  Maybe it will be easier to find them now.
 

 Kate, Larin, Leslie and Avery are on the job.  Worried?  Just call the Cicada Hunters!  Rest all of your fears.......

With filmmaker Ellis, April is making sure that everyone knows the details of this cicada emergence.
April and Megan are making sure everyone knows what they look like.
The guys want to know if these are the real thing....Drew, Andy and Brian are not so sure they like this invasion.
Lily, April, and interested party Michael are setting up the scenario to let everyone know of the possibilities of the invasion.
You can see the havoc they warn of....
And of course, the mad scientist Lily has come up with the way to save humanity, which makes documenter Ellis ecstatic with joy for the saving of human kind.
So of course, a party is in order.  The party-meisters Emily-2, Allie and Julia have everything under control.  Since this is biology, they naturally have incorporated cicada facts in the party favors.
Emily shows the creative favors made by the talented Honors party planners.
What is a party without games?  Pin the "wing on the cicada" is definitely the game of choice.  Allie demonstrates her refined technique.  Notice that there is no cheating...her eyes are well closed.
To commemorate, Katie made excellent cicada jewelry, modeled by Julia and Emily.
This has been such a super experience, that Kelly, Avery and Megan are ecstatic about the excellent informative  document they have made.
Lauren has made sure that everyone knows what to look for in the future.....
And, finally, remember that the warning signs are really clear......
