The cicadas gross me out. I hadn't seen one until today but this morning on the way to the train I saw a bunch on the trees which weirded me out. And then they were on the sidewalk by the train where I had to step around their scattered presence, yuck. I took a picture of one of said cicadas with my poor quality camera phone for example. What is even worse is that while waiting for the train there was one that was on a lady's back and I was freaked out for her. I had to tell her a bug was on her back but I didn't want to touch it; luckily a man came up and swatted it off her with a newspaper.

I find it interesting that you told the lady about the bug but weren't prepared to help get it off her back.
I think if I wasn't going to help her with it I wouldn't have said anything.
I wonder what other people would do?
'Hi, miss, I see you haven't eaten in a week. I have this foot long sub here. I'm not going to share it but I thought you would want to know I had it.'

Um Keith - she has friends with her that couldn't see it - if we were alone on an empty street I would have obliged-lol I couldn't just NOT say anything and let her go around like that!
