Cicadas will replace squirrels as the hot Bonsai List topic.

_I_ didn't say that! NINA said that. SHE's the one who needs
saving. Ain't no nasty cicadas in Florida.

Here's for you, Nina in case you don't make it out of the house for
groceries.

This link is a PDF-form book of tasty recipes for cicadas, a staple
food for Australian aborigines, and a special delicacy in Greece and
Rome. "They are said to be tasty and high in protien, having a
delicate, nutty flavor."

Honey, pass me another slice of that Cicada Rhubarb Pie, mm-mmm!

But to hear the call but once in 17 years,

Twice in a lifetime will it reach our ears.

Gosh. Most of us plan on living longer than that! I've "heard"
them 4 times (or could have if I'd been in the neighborhood ;-),
and with some luck may "hear" them again.

The national guards didn't come; the boyscouts didn't come, but this morning, a boxturtle came for the best all-you-can-eat breakfast buffet he's had in 17 years!

Today I'm heading to the fabric store for netting. Quite a few yards of netting.

What you need Nina is what is hatching out in my yard this week. Not millions, or thousands, but a hundred or so brand new Preying Mantises. These fellows are very cool, and one of the reasons I don't let the pesticide sprayers (Clark et.al) in my yard.

I hear they are pretty tasty, might be able to supplement your groceries
with them. You try them first and tell us how you like them. ;-D
