Recent articles, in magazines such as [National Geographic News], have talked about the craze of eating cicadas. According to Gene Kritsky, a biologist and cicada expert at the College of Mount St. Joseph in Cincinnati, Ohio, ""They're high in protein, low in fat, no carbs. They're quite nutritious, a good set of vitamins."

Crawfish, lobster, crabs, shrimp, and insects are all part of the same biological phylum of arthropods. Jenna Jadin prepared a brochure in preparation for the emergence of Cicada Brood X (Search for Brood) called "Cicada-Licious: Cooking and Enjoying Periodical Cicada."

As with any food, proper preparation is important.

Cicadas are said to be crispy and crunchy, with a nutty, almondlike, flavor. Iroquois indians have a long history of eating cicadas. Cicadas are considered an Iroquois delicacy.

The best time to harvest cicadas for eating is in the coolness of the morning.

The cicadas can be cooked in a large frying pan in a way similar to popcorn. The taste is similr to the "crispy edges of the egg white of an overhard fried egg."

A popular way to prepare cicadas is to sautee them in butter with crushed garlic and basil. However, some people might not like the strong aroma that this produces.

Cicadas can also be dry-roated on a stick like a marshmallow over a fire.
