I saw yesterday on my phone about a photographer, Ocana Ware, around Arlington, that had photographed the little darlings in human situations. At the beach, on a firetruck. I couldn't see pics too well, having eye problems. You may want to check it out. Looked kinda cute what I could see.
And for Threerun, also saw something about cicada tacos! Lol not sure where those are.

1. Collect roughly 2 cups of cicadas, keep them in a bucket (with a lid) with an inch of water inside. Wet wings means they won't fly off! Dry on a towel, pluck wings and legs, and set aside.
2. Preheat a large wok over high heat. Add the peanut oil, and swirl.
3. Add the minced ginger, hot dried Asian chile (tsin-tsin work great), minced lemongrass, chopped scallions, minced garlic, sugar, Toban Djan (fermented bean paste with chiles, Lee Kum Kee brand is fine) and toss for 15 seconds. Add the cicadas. If you can't find fermented bean paste, use a few tablepoons of Chinese dried salted black beans instead.
4. Toss for one minute to cook. Add the minced celery, toss. Mix the soy sauce, corn starch and rice wine together in a separate bowl, then add the mixture to the wok. Toss, cooking for another minute or so until sauce tightens.
Cicada Status Request for Memorial Day Weekend Trip
Hi all! I'm planning a trip for this weekend to the DC area just to see the cicadas with my aspiring entomologist 13-year old. We know it'll be rainy, and we're fine with that so long as we get to see lots of cicadas. What's the status of the emergence in the area? Past peak? Still good opportunity to see 'em? Thanks!
You hit the jackpot for having the right weekend they are all over the place.
