The Cicada Challenge: Cicada Cake!
John Secada -- haha.
For future reference, bugs are best chopped then sauteed in butter, garlic and whatever spice you like. I had grasshoppers in Mexico this way and they tasted like seasoned peanuts. Nothin to it. But way to rough it! :/
Yeah, no roughing it for me, I went straight to fancy joke photo cake land with this one.
If I ever decide to eat bugs again in the future (highly unlikely) I'll go the sauteed route! Thanks for the tip! ;)
Now that's living up to your screen name! Even if no cicadas were harmed. Nice tie-in with the R&L footage!
Thanks! If/When cicadas do show up around my house, I'll be sure to make another video of me eating one of them. It probably won't be a skit, but I really want to eat a cicada.
That was pretty clever!
When do the cicada's come to texas?
According to http://www.cicadamania.com/where.html the 17 year cicada's aren't due to emerge in Texas until 2015. You may however find a few stragglers which may emerge late or early.
There are also non-periodical cicadas (they don't stay in the ground for 17 years) in your area. According to google there are more than 40 types of cicadas in Texas. I ended up having to use
non-periodical cicadas because the 17 year ones aren't going to be around my area for a few years.
You could always give a call to a local university or college. If they have an entomology department they may be able to help you.
I just finished my entry today. This is about as close to a cicada as I ever want to get. I don't particularly like large bugs (they kinda freak me out).

This is my response to the cicada challenge that I filmed with two of my best friends. They were actually really excited to have a reason (excuse) to eat bugs haha. Please enjoy!!!
