Damn cicadas just carried off one of the neighbor kids.
I had no idea they could work as a team like that.

1. He was probably trying to 'shush' them.
They did what they were trained to do.... isolate the threat for the greater good.

They don't usually take to being 'shushed'.

Unfortunately, he'll likely be found as a hard shell stuck to a tree in a few months.

Sad, really.

5. Well, that's unusual.
Usually they only go for grown-ups.
