Whatzit?

[webenda]

I have seen those. What is the plant it is on?

Flower from Liriope spicata, also known as creeping lilyturf, creeping liriope, and monkey grass.

I've heard and seen that too! You're getting closer to areas tha I remember a little.
I still won't get your or anybodys Shatzit.

Whatzit? (If you know how, you can see this one almost full screen.)

Cicada

Cicada

Also my guess. But seems too obvious for a Wayne Whatzit.

[MurphOnMillerAve]

I'd venture the guess that it is a Leaf Insect, of the Phylliidae family (?)

It is a cicada Murph. I have never been able to photograph one before because I always found them up in a tree making a raucous noise. This one was conveniently sitting on a rock.



Cicadas have five eyes!

...and doesn't it take a decade or more between their being seen?

That depends on the type. Common locusts are always around. In Ohio I remember 7 and 13 year locusts.
One year they hit at the same time. It was rather noisy.
@ 10 years ago one area of Savannah,probably no more than 1/4 mile square, was affected and no other.

Also 17 year......I remember a year when there must have been a convergence of cycles - trees and shrubs in PA were coated with them. Could have scooped off buckets of them.

Another Whatzit ...
"Enoch and The Watchers" ? (!)

[Rufus T. Firefly]

I have never learned Enochian.........to my detriment.

[webenda]

I am working on Enoch and the Watchers answer.

A true but wrong answer is, "Enoch was the Son of Cain and father of Irad.
Correct answer is, "Enoch was the the one who was “transferred so as not to see death,”

The Watchers are mentioned in Daniel 4:17.
17 By the decree of watchers the thing is, and [by] the saying of holy ones the request is, to the intent that people living may know that the Most High is Ruler in the kingdom of mankind and that to the one whom he wants to, he gives it and he sets up over it even the lowliest one of mankind.”

In the meantime, what's the name of the plant that produces these thinigs.

I thought I'd read that 2020 was the year for the 17-year variety (Brood-X) here, but saw nothing. Then I read on the Wik that, no, it's next year (2021).

Next year? Ok, fire up the deep friers
