Its been years, but I was on a delayed Air Canada flight leaving Nashville because of a cicada swarm. They swarmed the plane when the props were started. It sounded like love to them. The wings were covered with cicadas. We sat and sweated on the tarmac with the engines off for a long while then I guess they figured the cicadas would not be an issue.
