For those in the Chicago area, look forward to being blessed with many, many bugs in the very near future.
From the Chicago Sun Times:
Those planning weddings or family reunions this spring may want to watch out for May 22.
That's the date, a prominent cicada researcher is estimating, that the little red-eyed bugs will emerge in the Chicago area. Specifically, the evening of May 21 and early morning hours of May 22.
Some may emerge a few days earlier and some stragglers may crawl from the ground a bit later depending on sunshine and shade, but the May day is "the big day,'' said Gene Kritsky, an entomologist and author of several bug books, including Periodical Cicadas: The Plague and the Puzzle.

I'm trying to come up with a festive drink, or commemorative pastry, for the occasion
If it's a pastry, just make sure it's crunchy.
How about mixing up some Grasshoppers in the blender-- the drink, not the bug...
Ugh. I'm getting out my waders in preparation for next week.
