I read... somewhere... that this is the year for a large population of 17 year cicadas in North America.

Same source said that pets and wild animals will feast to gluttony on the plump insects as they rise from the ground.

I have a lot of strange recipes, but one that I always liked was an Amerindian dish of fried locusts. Use a cast iron skillet, put in the locusts, cook over fire until they pop. The caution was you must use a lid or they will fly away. D'oh.
