A vendor friend brought some grasshoppers or crickets sauteed in butter and garlic to a gun show. He was eating them and offered them to me. They were actually pretty good.

Here in South Carolina we last had a hatch in 2011 I think. At the time, I was driving a box truck making deliveries to convenience stores. I’ll never forget all of them smashing into my truck as I drove. I also remember that the first thing every morning a store employee would have to sweep up the hundreds of cicadas that had flown into the store’s front windows the night before and died. I’m not looking forward to seeing them again. Of course, since I am retired, I don’t HAVE to see many of them!!

They are incredibly loud. Sleep is nigh on impossible.
The only thing louder during their emergence is the air raid siren that comes from Ruthie when they land in her hair.

After looking at the national debt should we really be scared of a measly trillion cicadas?

My gf remembered a cicada swarm when she was doing her post-doc in Iowa City in the early 2000s. She found them fascinating. (OTOH, when she was young in Australia, she and her mom drove through a locust swarm, which was a whole 'nother thing entirely. Clogged up everything.)
She just sent me this online pic from a ceramicist in NH who has created art nouveau pottery for Cicada Sunday, which is apparently this Sunday.
