Cicadas On Thier Way Up From Underground

If ya'll have noticed, Mississippi Kites are here in abundance now. They always show up prior to these cicadas coming out. This is their primary food source. It's strange to think of a hawk eating bugs but this is what they live on.

So how many of you are familiar with the Cicada Killer? Took this pic behind our shop last summer. This "beast" is 3-4 inches long and is as big around as a man's thumb.
