They are not ONLY 17 years, it is just a cycle. There are 1,2, 5, 10, and 17 year cicada's(i think there may be more, but i'm not sure) so this wont be as rare a "hatch" as everyone believes. I THINK all of the cicada's look alike, but I could be very wrong on this one. The last time they hatched this big I was two years old. There are several patterns avalible, as they are used in the South American trout fishing waters. Sorry I dont have any links, but you may want to try a Turks Turantula in black and dark greens, or even a big sized beetle. The patterns I have seen use foam as a main ingedient. Good luck and let us know if you find any!
