This year’s cicada hatch is big news. Prolly because its happening mainly on the east coast. They aren’t out yet here. Things are a tad behind here this year.
Are they emerging where you are yet? Its gonna be a loud summer!

I'll eat 'em, but I prefer Thai waterbugs.

They're a delicacy over there and I'll jump right in on a batch if I get the chance. Hey, they ain't no fuglier than a pot'o crawdads.

Just follow these simple steps. Enjoy!

1) The first step is to grab a bug out of the bag. Then, the tough and inedible wings must be detached from the body. Grab the wings, pull them off, and throw them away.

2) Next, you have to disconnect the body from the head. To do this simply pull and bend until the body neatly comes off the head. You may notice some juice that oozes out as you squeeze and pull. Also, there may be a few sticky strings of saliva like juice that are extracted during this procedure.

3) It’s now time to eat the body. Suck all the meat out of the body, until it’s all gone.
Bon Appétit!

No sir, the crunchy parts ain’t all that appetizing.

They’re really starting to get going where I am. The last two mornings I’ve been able to hear them from inside my office with the windows shit. Not super loud, but there.
This is just one mum in my yard from this morning. If you zoom in, there’s probably at least 15 live ones plus a bunch of husks.
