Early one morning while packing up my gear in a Missouri campground I made a startling discovery. This thing had climbed onto my bike! As I rubbed my tired eyes it dawned on me that I was seeing for the first time the noisemaker that I had been hearing, buzzing day and night, throughout the rural areas of the country since the middle of Colorado. I never knew how many were out there but they sure made a loud racket. I got used to having them lull me to sleep and hearing their electric-like hum in the trees when I biked by. I admittedly did feel a little sick removing this cicada (pronounced sic-kay-duh) from my bike frame. They're big!
