  Hi
 Other insects, all different types, are the only creatures I've been seeing eating any
 of  the cicadas around here. I'm always wondering why I don't see any birds trying to catch those big 'bugs' flying all over the place.

so far the only birds I've actually witnessed eating the things are House
Sparrows. You folks must have seen other cicada snackers. How big a list can
we compile?
