Carl,

You may have rabbits, but here we are having the beginning emergence of the periodical cicadas, Brood X. They are the largest group, emerging once every 17 years. There are projected to be as many as a million per acre. The first one fell onto my deck today, the dog and cat were enchanted. The cat is 14 and the dog 4, so neither has seen them before.

The dog promptly went out and tried to eat it. Luckily, I had the foresight to buy a muzzle with which she cannot consume things. Apparently, if they eat too many, the chitinous shells create quite a GI upset, not pleasant for the dog, or its human.
