    Bet  if you fried up grubs they would be a good substitute for crutones. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Long as they are not too juicy.

    Yeah I was thinking that maybe dehydrating them would be a good way to prepare them. Cheers and happy weekend!

    Right.. sun dried grubs for croutons. I heard June bugs worked pretty good too. This post was edited by Kittigate at May 24, 2021 2:21 PM MDT

    Having lived my whole life in Maryland, I have to say cicadas but, you better act fast, after this summer they won't be back until 2038.

    Yes, they hibernate underground for 17 years then come up on land to mate, scream and die?!?!?

    I just read something on Axios that said a great many cicadas have been eliminated due to construction of new homes, roads, etc.  They get cemented over and can't get out.

    I have noticed that their population seems pretty sparse in this area this time around.

    As more of their habitat is encroached upon for humans, this will happen more often and, eventually, they will become extinct.

    There are other species with different larval times.
