The last time a massive swarm of cicadas emerged in Washington 17 years ago, University of Maryland graduate school student Jenna Jadin published
Cicada-Licious: Cooking and Enjoying Periodical Cicadas. The cookbook breaks down the best ways to prepare the insects, and nearly two decades later, it’s still popular among cicada enthusiasts—especially during peak season, which could begin in DC as soon next week.
“It was largely written as a joke. I had a lot of extra space in my head, so I thought I’ll put this cookbook together as a way to do something that hasn’t been done before,” Jadin says. She also wanted to demystify the insect for the masses. A lot of people fear cicadas (those red eyes and deafening noises don’t help), so she wanted to show people there was a way to appreciate them as a food source.

(WEAA) - As we all know, cicadas will be making their debut towards the end of May and will live above ground from four to six weeks. They’ll begin to die off between late June and early July after mating and laying hundreds of eggs. Although most individuals look at cicadas in disgust and express a great deal of fear over the insect, some are adventurous enough to consume the creepy crawlers!
Cicadas are gluten-free, high in protein, low in fat, and low in carbohydrates. They have an asparagus- like flavor, especially when they are consumed raw or boiled, says Gene Kritsky, a biologist and cicada expert at the College of Mount Saint Joseph in Cincinnati, Ohio. If you are allergic to shellfish, then consuming cicadas are probably not in your best interest due to the fact they are from the same biological phylum - arthropods.

Billions of cicadas are going to infest the east coast this year and they will be hard to get rid of, so why not cook them!
If you do not know where to start with incorporating this...delicacy...into your recipes, the University of Maryland has put together an entire cookbook of recipes just for cicadas.
You can look forward to seeing the bugs emerge over the next several weeks, adding that since the individual cicada's lifespan is typically two to four weeks, the bugs will likely be with us for six to eight weeks in total. By the Fourth of July, the cicadas will likely be gone!

A cicada climbs on a tree trunk in an undated stock image. Entomologist Eric Day says the insects could create a "substantial noise issue" in some communities.
In April 2004, "Mean Girls" was playing in theaters and "Yeah!" by Usher was topping the Billboard music charts.
At the same time, around the mid-Atlantic region, small holes in the ground were opening up from which billions of bulky, red-eyed, winged insects would emerge, readying for a bacchanal of singing and mating -- and reminding humans of a horror movie.
As the summer of 2004 waned, so did the lifespan, just a few weeks long, of those adult cicadas, and the larvae of the next generation dropped back to the earth where they would spend the next 17 years.
