Who says #entomologists can't be a bundle of laughs?

It's #cicada season here so the press are running a few articles on the noisy critters. From one of these I discovered that our local bug watchers have adopted some rather interesting common names for different species, including:

Whiskey Drinker
Cherry Nose
Yellow Monday
Red Eye
Greengrocer
Brown Baker
Black Prince
Double Drummer
and
Razor

I'm sure Gary Larson would approve.
