Photo Op. You bet. Once again in the last five years another brood of 17 year locust are coming, sometime in May according to the nature calendars.

In the above link there is a list by state where they should emerge but if it is not in your area then it may well be worth a short trip to visit with them.
Several years ago they emerged from the ground in mass and for some reason my Parsons Jack Russell developed an appetite for everyone she saw. She was one happy puppy. The protein made nice and strong.
