WASHINGTON (AP) -- Any day now, billions of cicadas with bulging red eyes will crawl out of the earth after 17 years underground and overrun the East Coast. The insects will arrive in such numbers that people from North Carolina to Connecticut will be outnumbered roughly 600-to-1. Maybe more.

When I was a kid we had a cat that used to eat these things. WTF? LOL.

LOL

I love ‘em all, too, with this one exception. It’s just a, I don’t know how to describe it....a gut thing. No logic involved.

Don’t feel bad. I live in AZ and have an absolute scream like a schoolgirl fear of tarantulas.

Rattlesnakes? No biggie. Gilas? Fine. Tarantula? Watch normie squeal and run.

,,,In a completely masculine way of course...Pics are OK so don’t bother folks ;)

If they’re in DC, they’ll probably all be shot.

Only survivors will be given EBT cards.

[McGruff]

I remember them suckers.

[SampleMan]

Will the Cicadas be visiting Washington, D.C.?

D.C. is a plague already.

[Jack Hammer]

Just more illegal immigrants.

No doubt the Obama administration will offer them citizenship.

The meme is that old? Gosh tiime flies!

[txhurl]

Hahahahaha.... Liberal lives are about to get crunchy. And probably over-timey, the weasels.

[hal ogen]

The east is already overrun with pinheaded LIBs...so what’s a few cicadas? What does it matter?

[Daffynition]

Oh...you *would*! LOL

[TLI]

Are they edible by humans?

Apparently...

[Secret Agent Man]

The birds and small animals will eat well.

At least they don’t bite or sting people or animals.

[Norm Lenhart]

There is a naked dude in the bug’s eye reflection....

[sphinx]

Not to worry, they have a very short life span, -like one day.

Don't worry -- the dems will still have plenty of time to get them all voted.

[Daffynition]

It’s the meme from the popular eBay posting of the tea kettle for sale. ;)

Let us pray that they crawl out from the walls of the White House and consume everything in the building. Hopefully, they’ll make their appearance in the middle of the night so no one will be forewarned. Bon Appetit!!
