When I was growing up, we had some form of cicada every summer. The noise was incredible.

We also had cicada killers (not sure what the bug's real name is). These were HUGE black flying insects that would dig up the lawn and leave cicada carcasses lying around. Females would kill a cicada and lay eggs inside, then the larvae would consume the cicada. Ewwww. They wouldn't harm humans, but they totally freaked me out. *shudder*
