    We used to get them in Bakersfield... So many that they would cover the sides of the house. These would lay dorment for seven years in the ground, then it seemed that they would all rise up at once, hungry and ready to eat.

    Interesting critter! I had to bring it up larger to really study it, it's so "well hidden in plain sight"!

    My goodness Mike, I have never heard of so many being together at one time. I am sure it must have scared a lot of people.

    That is a very interesting bit about them being able to stay dorment for so long, I did not know that. Thanks for the info.
