Yep they are real. about 3 inches long and in densities of 500,000 - 1,000,000 per acre. My co-workers complain about how hard it is to walk in some areas without crunching over their bodies or discarded exoskeletons. Cars can skid out of control on their bodies. The noise can be deafening as well as they woo their mates. Imagine spending 17 years underground sucking tree roots and then only having a few weeks to mate. and then you die.... Christian
