Apparently these motherfuckers are useless if they are on their backs, because this one was and it was just flailing around and unable to right itself. I don't live where there are those 17-year ones that are loud as fuck or whatever so I don't know what that's like. I don't have any issues with Cicadas. I poked it and flipped it over and it eventually started crawling away. They're neat looking so I don't have a reason to kill them or fuck with them.

Also found an empty cocoon of either a polyphemus or luna moth under a shrub between my neighbors' house and my driveway and I was annoyed because it was empty and I didn't get to find it before the moth emerged because I really like those kinds of moths... still was a neat find though.

You're supposed to kill bugs, not rescue them.

I like cicadas. They're just part of the soundtrack of Summer.

I rescued one in a similar situation a few weeks ago. Picked it up and put it in a tree.

The treaty I have with the bug alliance leaves my end of the deal open to interpretation and discretionary, and it typically involves the probability of me being bitten or stung, though my opinion of various bugs in an aesthetic sense plays a role.

For example, a large caterpillar could possibly break skin when biting me, but I really like them so even if one did draw blood, I'd just be like "oh you! my fault because if you are biting me it is because you are hungry and I've failed at providing you with enough food :("

A wasp or mosquito on the other hand will be fucking pulverized at the first available opportunity just for being noticed by me.

Yeah cicadas are alright. My kill list is mosquitos, wasps, and grasshoppers. Otherwise I leave bugs alone.

50 bucks to eat a live cicada?

yay or nay?


I drink a lot. My constitution is not great >_>. Live bugs? No way. I'd probably puke from anticipation alone (if I did eat one when drunk which is entirely possible, I would be sick for a few days afterward). I know Joe Rogan had people eating tomato caterpillars on Fear Factor back in the day but I would never do that regardless of mental state/intoxication levels. I love those motherfuckers. I've reared them from egg to moth many times just because I wanted to. Got no beef with cicadas so not looking to eat them either. I've eaten chips made from cricket powder but I don't think I would ever eat whole insects even prepared, let alone raw... like maybe in a life or death situation but otherwise fuck that.

*facepalm*

I'm in no mood for this bullshit. When you see a bug, you're supposed to kill it. It's called "common sense". I'm sick of having to tell everyone this all the time. Thankfully I can hide this topic, and forget all about it. Goodbye.

Look up the literal definition of "bug." Cicadas might not qualify.

While true but I think he means creepy crawly may or may not be able to fly beings

Cool. I rescued a little snail dude that was on pavement far from anywhere for some reason. Either rescued set back an epic journey.

Those things flip onto their backs before they die so it's not like you had anything to do with it

Except probably made it suffer more

There's the flaw with your logic....You're not supposed to feed wild animals!

You mean a ninjask. Shedinja is the shell of the nincada left behind when ninjask emerges.

it didn't move at all at first so I initially assumed it was on last legs (well, once it was on its legs again >_>), but then it started to move and walk around a bit slowly so I thought maybe it had a chance. I'm not surprised it didn't I wanted to hope, lol

The bus was due any second that day and I didn't feel like taking a pic of it today when it was dead.
