Exodus 10:5, “And they shall cover the face of the earth, that one cannot be able to see the earth:

and they shall eat the residue of that which is escaped, which remaineth unto you from the hail, and shall eat every tree which groweth for you out of the field.”
Flip the aforementioned “they” from locusts to cicadas, and that’s actually a pretty apt description of what residents in some parts of Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia and West Virginia will experience next month when the soil warms to 64 degrees and billions of cicadas rise from the ground to mate. Billions of cicadas will descend upon the northeastern United States as another 17-year cycle concludes

It's such a fine thing that we no longer believe in omens, isn't it?
