I WANT CICADAS .. soon. I'm patient, but I can't wait forever. I want lots of them, deep fried, wings 'n' all. Smooth eating. Yum. Never mind pictures.

Re: This is going to be fun for those living on the East Coast
Billions of the 17 year cycle cicadas are due to appear sometime this month. We moved to the US a few weeks after the previous cycle had gone to ground. I was told that every outdoor surface was covered in them. They are almost blind...so have a tendency to fly into you. 
My friend said that even with double glazing it was difficult to sleep because of the noise they make. She said it was like having someone using a jack hammer right outside your bedroom window.

Okay.... Now I'm freaked out!!!! I hate critters, and I know how big these darn things are... The thought of them being everywhere is really frightening to me... Think I'll have to go into hiding if it happens

Now that the yard is thawing out I might be a bit proactive and dig the little dears up early. I imagine they are especially tender and succulent when underground still. I have loads of cooking oil on hand so I'm good to go! Surprise the wife for Friday night dinner!
