Hello from Alaska, where I have seen more moose and bald eagles (1 each) than cicadas today. On my way out, I was surprised at how many cicadas were buzzing around the runways and tarmacs at Reagan National as we took off from there. One got very, very close to the jet engine of our plane as we pulled out of Terminal C. I suppose a cicada strike is probably less serious than a birdstrike, but I feel bad for the poor cicada saps who somehow got stranded on that vast treeless expanse.
