Pass On The Cicadas, Please

The Humane Society Of The United States (HSUS) has issued a warning to pet owners this year regarding cicadas. What are cidadas? The are large insects that make a lot of noise, are slow moving, and low flying -- perfect snacks (and toys!) for pets outside. Thank goodness they aren't poisonous. However, they can cause vomiting and diarrhea, since the exoskeletons of the bugs are not digestible. Learn more about this HSUS warning at the About.com Dogs site.
