"The gang investigates after Crystal Cove begins suffering from an infestation of cicadas that targets workers of the company Destroido, the company that makes Shaggy and Scooby's favorite snacks. The cicada creature, made into one cicada shape out of thousands of cicadas, threatens to destroy Mystery Incorporated on the day of Mayor Jones' Cicada Creature Festival if they do not stop investigating. At the end of the episode, Daphne goes on a date with Fred to the museum's trap exhibit.
Villain: Cicada Creature/Grandma Moonbeam
Note: This episode loosely parodies the popular Japanese horror visual novel and anime series Higurashi When They Cry (Japanese: , Hepburn: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, lit. "When the Cicadas Cry"), in which the titular cries of the summer cicadas belie ill omens of a series of unusual deaths and disappearences, most often starting on the day of the Watanagashi Festival (, Cotton Drifting Festival) which is centered around delivering thanks and praise to the Hinamizawa village's guardian deity "Oyashiro-sama", who is feared and respected alike for his powerful "Curse" capable of "demoning away" disrespectful villagers." - Wikipedia

I had no idea about this episode. What I saw of that show (Mystery Incorporates for those interested) was great.
