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?

Cicadas should be considered clean insects, because their diet is vegetable and not other insects or scavangers. Unless they are disease ridden, which is another reason an animal is considered unclean.
