oh god, cicadas. At my old house, when I was one year old, it was the year of the cicadas, and there was so many that there was times that the screen door would be literally covered in cicadas.
and my outdoor graduation was also the year of the cicada. but they weren't as bad then.

Interesting you mention that. I think that the idea of a "year of the cicadas" would be a strange concept to the Japanese, or to most other parts of the world which have cicadas. Only in North America are there certain cicadas with very long life cycles that all run in sync, so that they all emerge at once at infrequent intervals (13 or 17 years).
