Cicadas are my favorite animals ever! I see them molt in the summer in my backyard in the mornings and it's beautiful. I always keep the shells of those I observe as a memory of how life can change instantly. And a week from that beautiful change, you may be dead. It's calming almost... the cicada story. We're not around forever, but we do our best to grow and change, even if we never find love in any aspect of our lives. The cicada marches on and sings.

I squished a roach outside when I was young teenager, after a friend and I had just watched Species(1995) in the theatre. We were having a ciggy and 2 long tentacles whipped out of either side of the squished roach. We were pretty freaked out as it wriggled it's way out of the roach. It was the first time I learned of parasites like that. It was so big to be in the roach. We burned it to death. There's some pretty nasty vids of people putting crickets, mantises, and what not in water and those things come wriggling out. Bleh😝!
