The cicada killer is a fearsome looking insect who burrows underground and seeks to paralyze the growing cicadas. Below is a cicada whose loud ssshhhooosssshiinngg has been quieted, as the ants come to pay their respects.
I once has an exterminator visit to safely remove a hornets nest from my porch... no chemicals allowed. He told me that I should work in the field as I have no fear of insects." Perish the thought" I said, "I love all the little insects and their kooky ways." I know prospective buyers would not share my beliefs, though. Blessed be!
Yeah, I guess ants do pay respects. I like that thought :)
