My garden has been absolutly resonating with the sound of about a million and a half cicadas all day. They are clinging to every branch, all singing the same song, loud to an organic beat.
Kaycee finds them very nutrious. I remember when I was a kid we had another great use for cicadas:
Step 1. Capture a large specimen by sneaking up behind it and grabbing its wings between thumb and forefinger. The trick here is to bring your hand in quickly from directly behind the cicada so he does not see it coming.
Step 2. Cup the cicada in your hand carefully. It will calm down in the darkness until the right moment.
Step 3. Sneak up behind your brother/sister/friend and shove it down their back.
Step 4. Run.
