Buck and Cicadas

For awhile I had to run after him, he was eating them, and then throwing up. He is learning to
leave them alone. We have a ton of them here.
 
Ugly buggers! I remember them from my freshman year in Cincy. There were some places the sidewalks were covered with them. Jim Wittie ate one on a bet. Don't remember him throwing up though ;)
We have cicadas every summer here in AZ but not the same as the 17 year locusts as we referred to them.
 
Yuck...those things are DISGUSTING!!! I’m so glad we don’t have things like that here...I have a phobia about bugs and these would creep me out, even if they’re only around for a short time.
 
We are outside of Cincy. Yes the drive and patuo are full, of course the yard. Buck has been
a lot better about them. In about 4 weeks they are suppose to be gone. I did laugh when I
have seen two of them together making love. They went in a bag with the others for
fishing bait.
 
We are in SE PA and we have not seen any of them yet. I have seen pictures of places close to here completely inundated. I am hoping maybe we don’t have any here, I could just see Shelby chasing and eating all of them. She already chases the frogs in our pond (she caught one once and never again has she tried). She likes to nose them to make them jump or bark at them when they croak.
Today she was after a bumble bee- so I know she will go after them too.

I was talking to a friend recently- we grew up in central PA and she still lives there- I never remember having cicadas at any time up there......
 
Funny, someone on FB posted the same problem. Interesting that he's throwing them up. Manufacturers are looking at cicadas and crickets as a viable alternative protein source and I've got cricket treats in the cupboard that none of the dogs like! In China you can get crickets and cicadas on a stick (baked of course) at roadside stalls and markets - I just couldn't get past the crunch though.

If you wanted deep fried you could likely get them here. Not sure there is not anything Alabama won't deep fry and call food.
