Cicadas

The first person to complain about the noisy, crunchy cicadas has to wear this shirt for a week.

Do we have a taker?

@Kachina624 You won't hear me complaining. 😂

I kinda like it!

I remember reading someone said re the cicadas-"replace fear with fascination."

I admit I haven't gotten to that fascination point yet!

When I pulled up this post and saw that picture I nearly took off running ! If anyone saw my post a few days ago about my Cicada attack you would understand my statement ! They have been flying around my patio all day, landing on my screen door and there are dead ones lying out in the hallway of the building. If the T-shirt had a picture of an exploding firecracker on it I might just buy it and hang it on my patio, maybe it would scare them off ! You Think ? Probably not

Sorry but i like the shirt and all the colors. Doesn't bother me that there's a bug on it..........

Doesn't bother me in the least either. I've been picking them up and moving them to safer spots or throwing them in the air to fly away. I would wear that shirt, but I'm not complaining about them, so I guess I won't get to.

@Kachina624

The cicada looks like it could be a beautiful stained glass window ... although I doubt you'll be seeing one in any church.

@Goodie2shoes. Sounds like you're the winner! Now that you mention it, I remember your post.

That is actually a very striking design. It's a bit much for a shirt but I would wear it as a silk scarf for sure.

@Tinkrbl44,

I was thinking the same. It does look like stained glass.

We missed them this time around. Although the bottom part of our state had them. Our worst one was 2 years ago. They were everywhere. Those terrible flyers. They didn't fly but stumble on to you. In your hair, etc. One time I carried one home on one of my letters after visiting the mail box. Funny but I kind of missed them....

I would wear it...love all the colors and the stained glass effect of the cicada!

Our "outbreak" seems to be about over, thank goodness.

@Kachina624 : Me not complaining. Thankfully they have left my city.

I found one on Saturday morning here south of Monroe NC. I downloaded the Cicada Safari app and reported my finding.

I would love that tee!
