The Cicada Thread

[H2O_Doc]

First cicada I’ve encountered this year. It’s like Christmas for a biologist.

Sure, you’re thinking “WTF? A bug thread on a car forum???” Fair enough, but some of us will be carefully removing splattered cicada mash from the fronts of our Supras. So, maybe relevant to detailing.

They have a creepiness factor.

Edible, however.

Are they? I can't imagine they are particularly... palatable...

We had ours hatch in NE Ohio a few years ago. My Great Danes loved them. They would catch them mid air and eat them.

Things like this never are. I’m not sure why we pretend. Sure, in some parts of the world, bugs make up a significant part of protein intake, but I’ll stick to SPAM, thanks.

I love the sound.

Reminds me of summer camp as a kid
