Swarm of Cicadas

Every decade or so, something reminiscent of a Biblical plague descends on middle Tennessee. Horrific little creatures with alien-form and beady unblinking red eyes spring forth from our soil and into our hair. They are a legion of locusts that Moses probably would have recognized. They are mighty ugly but as they do not sting, essentially harmless unless you happen to have a heart attack when scores of them land on you. Over the ages people have aptly called the grotesque cicadas "repulsive" which I imagine is exactly what they think of the enormous creatures befouling their thirteen year amorous locust adventure and even swatting and stepping on quite a few of them.
