“Kasson urges people not to eat the cicadas or kill them, but to take photos if they see the fugus on the bugs and share them with online science communities, like iNaturalist, to help researchers. “
I’ll get right on it.
Don’t eat the cicadas? But, but....
We are told to eat the bugs.
DESHAYES: You know, I don’t eat insect. It’s not something that I eat every day. So two weeks ago, I start to harvest them. And I say, OK, what you will be the good safety to eat them? So I blanched them on the boiling water for five minutes. And after that, I laid them on the sheet pan. And I roast them for 2 1/2 to three hours at 200 degrees.
MARTIN: Oh.
DESHAYES: So what I end up having is a very dry cicada. They look like a little snack.
MARTIN: Yeah.
DESHAYES: And with that, I made a powder, crushed them. And for one of the recipes that I did a couple days ago, I crust a flank steak for barbecue.
Trans cicadas!
Maybe ‘der Führer und Reichskanzler’ K(louse) Squab might like to try said cicadas, just to show us how the self styled ‘elites’ will like us plebs. I am not holding my breath for such an event.

Note to self - don’t have sex with icky bottomed cicadas and don’t eat them.
Our cats bring me all sorts of little critters. I’ll make sure to explain to them to be more cautious what they eat.
Collect and send them to Klaus.
