It's not really herp related unless you want to consider cicadas a nice food snack for lizards and turtles, but here is a link to a thread I started over on the insect forum. I posted the start of a series of photos I have been taking of the Brood X emergence in my area.

Just outside of DC here. A major hotspot for this particular brood. To be honest I think my neighborhood probably didn't get as many this time around as I seem to remember vaguely from the 1987 emergence (either that or back then it didn't take much of them to impress me). My backyard has had many thousands emerge. I collected well over 3 thousand nymph shells in a 5 day period and still there are many more I didn't bother to collect.

I wish I was up north to see them all come out. Down here in Florida, I've seen two molts in the past week. Have fun with the bugs! Brooks
P.S. You might have to ban yourself for insect related material in a reptile forum. Just kidding.
