This morning I introduced our cicadas to the of July 4th tradition. Most of our new backyard friends aren’t going to make it until then so I threw a July 4th cookout party for them, followed by fireworks over Washington DC.
Surprisingly, cicadas showed little interest in grilling and went straight for the booze
I wasn’t kidding! They completely ditched the grill and swarmed to the ice bucket!
This went on for a while and most of them were goners before the fireworks
But hey, the strongest ones did make it until dusk and really enjoyed the fireworks from Georgetown waterfront
