“Kasson urges people not to eat the cicadas or kill them, but to take photos if they see the fugus on the bugs and share them with online science communities, like iNaturalist, to help researchers. “
I’ll get right on it.

“Zombie Cicadas” would be a good name for a rock band.

“the fungus causes the backside of their abdomens open up. A chalky, white plug erupts out, taking over their bodies and making their genitals fall off.”
That’s bad, right?

DESHAYES: You know, I don’t eat insect. It’s not something that I eat every day. So two weeks ago, I start to harvest them. And I say, OK, what you will be the good safety to eat them? So I blanched them on the boiling water for five minutes. And after that, I laid them on the sheet pan. And I roast them for 2 1/2 to three hours at 200 degrees.
MARTIN: Oh.
DESHAYES: So what I end up having is a very dry cicada. They look like a little snack.
MARTIN: Yeah.
DESHAYES: And with that, I made a powder, crushed them. And for one of the recipes that I did a couple days ago, I crust a flank steak for barbecue.

Will my chickens turn white after eating them?
To: Uncle Miltie
Yeah, especially if they have a hit every 13 or 17 years. ;)

They try to make this emergence of both types to be some sort of apocalypse. Fact is their territories don't converge, so it will be the normal 17 year thing if you're in their area.
Still annoying, though.

I’m hoping they can’t transmit this to humans!
To: dynachrome
Maybe ‘der Führer und Reichskanzler’ K(louse) Squab might like to try said cicadas, just to show us how the self styled ‘elites’ will like us plebs. I am not holding my breath for such an event.

Eating Cicadas can make you vibrate with extreme intensity.
