It’s
been incredibly hot in Texas this summer with temperatures regularly reaching
over 105 degrees. I’ve started walking at 5:30 in the morning to try to avoid
the worst of the heat, but it’s still over 80 degrees at that time. This
morning it was so hot and humid that I saw a cicada lying on his back, slowly
pulling himself across the concrete to the sprinklers going off in the yard
across the street. But even worse was the other cicada holding onto his wing
too drained to even make the attempt.
