SO MANY BUGS. Also, renewals!

icepixieBUGS. BUGS EVERYWHERE. SEND HELP. WE ARE HIP-DEEP IN BUGS.
The brown things are the nymphs' discarded exoskeletons. The actual cicadas are black with transparent wings and red eyes.
Note how far out around the tree trunk the bugs/bug skins extend, and how deep the piles are.
Pretty much every surface looks like this: tree trunks, walls, the patio, the driveway...
GAH.
And just listen to the racket they make: I was going to upload/embed this video, but neither Viddler nor Vimeo will play nice. Right-click and save.

In other news, apparently there was a lot of carnage at ABC today as they leaked pickups and cancellations, but Body of Proof survived and will get a second season! Hurrah! This likely means we won't see the last four episodes of this season until September, alas, but I'd rather have that then see them earlier with no second season.
I haven't looked up info on all the shows they and the other networks who have announced pickups already are going to air, but from what I've seen, Once Upon a Time looks interesting. Pan-Am's concept is intriguing (pilots and flight attendants in the 1960s—hey,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
rowdycamels, remember how we were saying a show centered on travel agents could be interesting? Apparently we were sort of prophetic!), but it's also billed as a very soapy soap opera, and...nope, don't think so.
Does anyone know if there's a page with summaries of all the new series that have been picked up all in one place? Googling individual titles is getting old.
Speaking of new series, apparently there is a Warehouse 13 spinoff in development, and it stars H.G. Wells! It will take place in the 1890s, and feature her as a sort of sciencey Sherlock Holmes (because god knows we can't have a show without mysteries-of-the-week). I'm torn over this; one the one hand, MOAR H.G. WELLS YAY!, but on the other, half the reason I liked her was because she and Myka were so slashy on W13. But maybe H.G. will guest star on W13 a lot since they'll probably be filming in the same studio?

Bwahahaha!)
