Crunch, Crunch

This doesn't look too appetizing to me, but apparently it is quite a delicacy to a certain wiry terrier around here.  Hudson had to stand on his tip toes to nab one off the side wall of the turnpike bridge during our walk this morning.  Dead or alive, it takes him only two crunches to down the little critters.  The cicadas have been here for several weeks.  They seem to get louder when the temperature rises.  An old wives tale says there are only six weeks from the time cicadas start to sing to the first frost.  That would put it around a week or two from now!

  1. Oh that little cicada-crunching little man :-D
    The bugs down here in Loudonville are glorious. I submitted a cicada photo that looked very much like yours to Bug Guide. Have you handled a dead one? They're pretty solid !

  3. I was dive-bombed while playing cards on the front porch of a Jersey shore Victorian beach house by a very erratic cicada and have never recovered. Glad to hear Hudson appreciates them appropriately. Good dog!
