Starting this week and lasting into June, billions and possibly even trillions of cicadas will emerge across much of the eastern half of the United States.

Another child hit his head on a brick wall while he was running away from one of the insects.

"Another kid tried to kick one under a lawn mower and cut his foot, and we saw a crush injury to the hand when a kid tried to put a cicada under the wheels of a moving car."

Maybe they should have a new required class in school: "How to successfully kill insects without causing serious injury or death to yourself"

A knife? WTF were they thinking?

Everyone should know that the most fun way to kill a bug involves a magnifying glass.

No no you've got it all wrong Stevo. The best way is hairspray and a lighter. #Onfire
