had a dream that i was trying to decide what post apocalyptic skill to learn and i decided to go with learning how to make axes to chop trees. As I was testing one of the axes I almost chopped down an old growth tree covered in cicadas with white patches on their backs.

After the shower I was explaining all this to @wife when she said "what are those" and pointed to a bunch of spherical growths of about 1/2 inch diameter dotting my arms. They all had these white-plastic-looking hex-wrench-bolt faces on them all facing in random directions.
