You know what, I'm here for it. Anytime I hear about the cicadas coming back it's always over the top dread. People freak out, and there's so much acting like seeing a cicada is going to grind life to a halt. Everyone seems to lean into the bit.
The fact that the growing answer to the cicadas this year is a wildly different "fuck it, we'll eat them and then they can't get us" could not be more beautiful to me.
Really, it's the most believably apex predator behavior I've seen in humans.
Where are you seeing dread? Most of the cicada news I've seen falls between "this is a cool curiosity" and "this happens regularly and is perfectly fine". Also plenty of articles about eating them.
The sound of an awoken brood looking to fuck is maddening and inescapable. I absolutely dread experiencing that again.
I also don't enjoy being dive bombed walking through the parking lot of the grocery store, and finding a couple stuck to my shirt when I get home
