In case you missed it, the 17 year cicadas you learned about in school are supposed to return this summer.
I personally have yet to see any, but I ve seen videos of people hearing the sound of cicadas around Rockford. Now that s its finally really hot out, I think they re going to start to emerge from the ground.
We recently put out a list of fun(?) facts about cicadas. If you want you can check that out here -
On that list, we included a link to a cicada cook book. Yeah, you read that right, a CICADA cook book.
The cook book titled Cicada-licious was created by some University of Maryland Cicadamaniacs. It s filled with recipes from cicada stir fry, to cicada tacos, and even Cicada-Rhubarb Pie if you re more of a sweets lover.
