Why am I looking at this strange line?

#cicada

I know a lot of people have a strong aversion to this, but I think eating cicadas is a great way to build a deeper connection with your local ecology! They’re super high in protein (double what you can get from beef). Also, they’re delicious, like seriously delicious, if you gather them at the right stage!

This video discusses harvest methods that may reduce your impact (though your impact is likely to be minuscule). I hope you find it helpful and interesting!

Don't forget to check out the related video if you're interested. 😄

Trust me, there's not enough people eating cicadas to have to worry about that.

All I can think is “DO NOT EAT THE GUYS!! 😭”

Live in the pod. Own nothing. Eat bugs.

Hopefully I will never need to use this info, however, I feel like with the amount of cicadas that I’ve seen in my lifetime, the thought of responsibly harvesting them NEVER would have crossed my mind😂 so good on you!

I love me some Timon and Pumba....but I'll leave the bug eating to them. lol

Interesting nonetheless, though!

[IamBrenna]

Wow that’s different but love the naked and afraid vibes

When you showed its belly it looks so cute!

I'm not against other people eating cicadas, but I do have Major Food Allergies and I don't want to be the first person who has a cicada allergy. Can you imagine how embarrassing that would be?

[alecrisser]

I would try a cicada that was cooked and seasoned. I might have to take a shot or two first though.

[Fooma]

I’d try em🤷🏻‍♂️ ideally not raw crunching them, put em in the right sauce and I’d probably love em

Hell ya sustainable foraging. Kinda a bunmer that many ppl are so disconnected to their local ecologies and foodways tht they discount any terrestrial invert as an ingredient, and its cool to see someone talking about eating bugs without Clickbait Grossout Language!!

FYI be cautious about eating arthopods if you have a shellfish allergy! Ive seen folks with shrimp allergies have reactions from crickets and other orthoptera.

Cicada shel or husk can be used as I anti inflammatory medicine and a hydrating medicine so if u stumble up cicada husk go get some it can be very useful

[AAABatteries.]

I think I could possibly try it tho I don't think I have ever encountered a Secada before

[nicemomasmr]

Your enthusiasm for cicada eating makes me happy 😊 you're pushing some people out of their comfort zones, and a lot of the comments have been so disappointing. Shockingly close-minded. I hope you don't let their "Im too good for that" attitudes dim your enthusiasm.

[Mlonelysheep]

Your full length video on the topic was great! I don’t really have the “ick” factor that others have I guess lol.

This information might help some people in a crunch. Although, you have to know their time cycles, locations, and expected emergence dates; in order for you to collect them at the right stage of development. Is there a national cicada map? 🤔

[donhagerty]

THERE AIN'T NO WAY IN HELL I AM GOING TO START EATING BUGS. IF I WANTED TO EAT BUGS I WOULD MOVE TO NORTH KOREA

[JPWAR]

What are some good tips for eating people?

[Mattyunder_ice]

What’s more sustainable is not ducking eating cicadas
