Nobody panic but if you hate bugs it would appear you might want to lay in some groceries...

...some peanut butter, to last a couple of days.

Well, more than a couple of day. The 17 year cicadas are imminent according to bug reporters on BNN. While quite fascinating how the cicadas can tick off 17 years and knowing when the earth's temperature hits 64ยบ exactly 8 inches below ground, we're talking billions of these flying things. Yes, billions.

And they're loud. Not loud like a comforting rumble of a freight train through town on a summer night, no, a screeching horrid terrible noise. Behold:


Everywhere. If you live on the eastern seaboard you're gonna get 'em. Walking your dog will be no fun (except for your dog who will see a buffet of big tasty flying things). So get ready New Jersey, this could happen at any time we're told. If you're truly bug-averse perhaps now would be a good time to stock up on canned goods and Raid.
