Cicadas are coming out in select areas. Here are links to some recipes.

Okay, I've never eaten one, but they supposedly taste good, something like shrimp, if you can believe that.

Here's a map showing where they're expected to appear:

First one I ever saw I wanted to call the cops.

I used to catch them as a kid. Id tie a thread around it under the wings and let it fly around.

too crispy for me.

Do they taste like shrimp? Do they get stuck in your teeth?





I wuf you!



Mmm. I wolf you too!

Ain't no friggin' WAY!  Not happenin' in MY kitchen!  

If you're "unvaccinated" and don't plan otherwise, you'd probably best prepare to do some things and eat some things that don't necessarily appeal to you.

Interesting animals cicadas , I watched a doco on Netflix just recently called the code

Magicicada is the genus of the 13-year and 17-year periodical cicadas of eastern North America, consisting of seven species. Although they are sometimes called "locusts", this is a misnomer, as cicadas belong to the taxonomic order Hemiptera (true bugs), suborder Auchenorrhyncha, while locusts are grasshoppers belonging to the order Orthoptera.[2] Magicicada belongs to the cicada tribe Lamotialnini, a group of genera with representatives in Australia, Africa, and Asia, as well as the Americas.[3]

Magicicada species spend almost the full length of their long lives underground feeding on xylem fluids from the roots of deciduous forest trees in the eastern United States.[4] In the spring of their 13th or 17th year, mature cicada nymphs emerge between late April and early June at any given locality, synchronously and in tremendous numbers. After the prolonged developmental phase, the adults are active for only about 4 to 6 weeks.[5] The males aggregate into chorus centers and attract mates. Mated females lay eggs in the stems of woody plants. Within two months of the original emergence, the life cycle is complete; the adult cicadas die and their brood disappears for another 13 or 17 years...
