So disappointed with the thread title. I think we should have discussed Cicadas but the thread title should have been something like... Hey you bunch of RT fried insect eaters.

Here's an Aussie band playing the 1981 classic the cicada's that ate five dock.

That’s something like a 500 year thing (maybe more)?
Never had them bad around here, surrounded by cropland and insecticide, but this may be different.

One of the few years I lived in PA they had them pretty bad. It was cool seeing all the empty bodies left all over the place though

Very few places will both varieties be present. The vast majority of people will notice no particularly excessive "Infestation".

40-ish years standing in front of large bass stacks means I get cicadas 24/7.

It does make sense though. We could eat our weight in bugs like everyday and not really run out of them.
