Humans, like cicadas, are created to fly and sing
Mike Thompson
Between locusts, cicadas and humans, which of these species have the most in common? Of course, it is cicadas and humans. Suspend your disbelief.
Locusts are the crazy junk of biblical legend. Plagues, crop destruction, major inconveniences have been locusts’ deserved calling card throughout history. Grasshoppers and mole crickets are the best examples. They eat everything in their path and live just a few weeks. We could make a comparison with humans who have poor nutrition habits, eat everything in their path and are unable to enjoy a long, fulfilling and relatively disease-free life. They exist in this story because people falsely think cicadas are locusts, and the stars of this story are cicadas and humans.
