102. Cicadas
     2 Cicadas are mediumsized insects, measuring up to 2.5 inches. Cicadas feed on small insects like wasps. Cicadas are found in tropical areas only.

     Extractions: Cicadas are medium-sized insects, measuring up to 2.5 inches. They usually have brownish black or green-colored stout bodies and two pairs of clear wings marked with branching veins. Cicadas have a pair of short antennae and a pair of prominent compound eyes on their blunt heads. Male cicadas are devoted singers. Yet, they don't sing with their mouths. Instead, they sing with their bellies. Male cicadas have drum-like membranes on each side of their abdomens that can vibrate very quickly to make buzzing sounds. As they play their music, they hope to attract female cicadas. Unfortunately, by announcing their presence so loudly, audible more than a mile away, male cicadas inadvertently attract predators, such as cicada killer wasps, as well. Cicadas are often nicknamed "locusts" or "harvest flies" in the United States, but they are neither locusts nor flies. True locusts that look like grasshoppers travel in such a large swarm that they can darken the sky. Locusts destroy crops wherever they fly. Cicadas are not as destructive as locusts. Nevertheless, they still cause some damage to orchards when they cut an opening on tree branches to drink sap or to deposit eggs. Hence, orchard farmers don't like cicadas very much.

Marchand Save a personal copy of this article and quickly find it again with Furl.net. It's free! Save it. Folklore has it that cicadas singing on a summer morning portend a hot day. If true, then this particular June day had the makings of a scorcher. When I first stepped out of my house in Arizona's White Mountains, only a single cicada was singing. Within two hours the air was ringing with the metallic buzz of hundreds of males. The chorus steadily crescendoed as more and more insects joined in, singing and flying, singing and flying. By noon it seemed that every branch among the junipers and pinon pines surrounding my home was occupied by an adult cicada. The ground beneath the trees looked like a battlefield, pockmarked with half-inch-diameter emergence holes and littered with molted skins, the last vestige of the cicadas' subterranean existence. For an insect that spends better than 95 percent of its life below ground, this would be the final hurrah: a single, frantic mating effort that would last no more than a few days.

Daniel III, 61, a professor of biology and anthropology at East Carolina University, has made gobbling bugs a regular practice. Dishes like grasshopper and cricket stir fry and cream of Katydid and asparagus soup are just a couple of the dishes he prepares. Daniel, who has eaten cicadas, said they taste somewhere between asparagus and crawfish. "We have evolved a digestive system with a 70-million-year-old history of being insectivorous," Daniel said. "We would probably live lots longer and happier if we ate what our ancestors ate." Daniel even introduced his colleagues and biology students to this unusual cuisine. "Last year, I cooked cicadas ala Romano for our biology seminar," Daniel said. "The participants ate all of what I prepared." Daniel added, "I would rather feed a hungry ECU student some great insect recipe than a hormonal, antibiotic cow, pig or chicken." He said dishes like his are being prepared more, especially at universities, since the periodical cicada, Brood X, are emerging from their 17-year stay underground.
