It’s official: 2024 belongs to the cicadas.

This spring, two different broods of cicadas — one that lives on a 13-year cycle and the other that lives on a 17-year cycle — will emerge at the same time from underground in a rare, synchronized event that last occurred in 1803.

Billions of the winged insects will make an appearance across the Midwest and the Southeast, beginning in some places in late April, for a raucous mating ritual that tends to inspire fascination and annoyance in equal measure. == =

So do I gorge on Cicadas to build up my fat for the upcoming famine, or freeze some (oops needs electricity), or dry some for future sustinance?

No.

My chickens eat crickets.

Only a heartless monster would snatch food from their little beaks.

[HartleyMBaldwin]

I want roast suckling cricket with a teeny-tiny apple in its mandibles.

first they try to make it look fun, cool, hip, and good.

Next, they nudge you

Next they force you at bayonet point.

Always progressing to the glorious revolution.

We always see “plant based meat” or insect based meat”. We never see “impossible broccoli made from 100% pork and beef” or even “insect based cauliflower”.

Ever year, when my son was young, he would get a box of sour cream and onions crickets in his Christmas stocking.

He loved them!

For those who elect to eat cricket anything, good luck with the parasites!
