[QUOTE="Yeats, post: 213659, member: 12720"] Every so often (about every seventeen years, more or less) reporters are ordered by their editors to write up “the cicada story”. If there’s nothing else going on at the time – like a war, or a political scandal, or some other big news – then we see story after story about the humble cicada and their “summer of love”. This isn’t a new thing. Until this year. This year, we are still getting “the cicada story”, but the focus is a bit different this time.
