I was reading about cicada killer wasps, their only natural enemy. They paralyze and then fly with and drag the cicadas down their tunnels. They lay an egg on each cicada which becomes the food source. Ought to be a big year for the wasps too. Mr Owen, my guy is headed to Merlefest soon, are you close by there and do you attend?

Hi Tunesalot, I am near, but this year I can’t go because I’m traveling. I’ve been to many. I hope he has a good one.

There's also going to be a thing called "zombie cicadas". Seriously.
