Meet ‘Charlie’ the Cicada. It dropped by during my reunion dinner and stayed the night only leaving he next afternoon.
It perched itself onto my kitchen fan and ‘modeled’ for me the next morning before literally screeching off.
Folklore says that it is ’good luck’ if it drops by because ‘it only reports back good stories’. Don’t ask me to whom although I presume it is to ‘ the good fairy Godmother’.
I presume too it’s got good hearing and it’s got these huge ‘BUG’ eyes to watch and report.
