Once more, for people with a shellfish allergy, entomophagy is likely not safe for you! This is explained more in the video. This was the first video that I’ve ever made on a subject like this, which I feel is relatively foraging-adjacent. I have no idea if I’ll ever make another, so let me know if this subject is of interest to you! Thank you all so much for watching. 🙏 Calculations: I was concerned that 1 million per acre was too high an average, so I ran several more calculations with more conservative estimates. No matter how I adjusted the numbers, realistically, the impacts from human consumption continued to come out as effectively negligible.

Kinda related to the topic of this video: Do you have any resources on foraging and eating clams? Specifically, the invasive Asian clams that clog up our creeks and rivers. I've foraged some before, but it's been a long time, and I didn't really know what I was doing anyway. If you don't have anything, that's alright. I appreciate it anyway, and I will keep trying to learn.

I actually really liked this video. They lowkey look pretty good where normally a lot of bugs would not.

Pro tip, if you aren't sure about how quickly you can get to processing them, and/or have the patience to wait, collecting the nymphs can be a great way to get the least tough cicadas to eat. Just wait at home for each to molt and reach the desired stage before cooking. Bonus shells for compost. Other side of this coin: if you gather teneral cicadas and find some have already darkened too much by the time you get them home, let them finish hardening safely indoors then release to maybe introduce more cicadas to your neighborhood for the next time!

Since Western society stopped eating bugs, it's become thought of as "primitive", "poor", "foreign" in the US. Also note the converse: red meat is conceived as masculine and American. As the climate crisis intensifies, there's pressure to change the status quo (Americans consuming ridiculous amounts of meat) as the ecological impacts of animal agriculture are obvious. Many right-wing people feel threatened by this. Over time, internet discourse (largely on 4chan) evolved from "the leftists want us to eat bugs, I'm never giving up my steak" to a full-blown conspiracy theory that "global elites" want to enslave the masses and make them eat bugs. Hence the phrase "I will not eat the bugs" actually containing more meaning, being coded speech expressing support of this concept without saying it explicitly (similar to "let's go Brandon") TL;DR: it's highly political due to a right-wing narrative that "the other" (leftists/shadow government/whoever) wants to force them to eat insects

Definitely goes hand in hand with foraging. We don't have periodic cicadas in my area, but I have dabbled with grasshoppers.

My pup used to dig these up..she loved them

Not sure if it was just a coincidence or if they were attracted to it.

Knowingly eating a bug or a cow is the same in terms of 1 life = 1 life, neither one's more moral than the other, but you'd have to kill a lot of bugs to equal a cow.

Exactly. 100% agree with what you’ve said here. I used to live in Latin America and have tried crickets before, and I’m honestly not bothered by the taste. And I also don’t mind the idea of willingly supplementing with bugs to get protein. What I absolutely do mind, is that certain elites are pushing for a two-tier system where rich people can eat whatever they want, and poor people have to be deprived of heme-iron rich foods like beef, while they sneak bugs into our products and pretend that’s not what they’re doing when they’ve already been caught. I also have to question whether said bugs are the same natural bugs you and I can get in our yards, or GMO bugs that they’re using to force something else on us like they tried to do a few years ago. Something really strange and creepy is happening on the societal level. I don’t have a weird superiority complex about bug eating, I’ve had it before, but I don’t like the direction things are going in the world.

Locusts aren’t “closely related” to grasshoppers. They *are* grasshoppers. When there is an abundance of edible plant material for them, their populations grow. Physical contact with each other boost serotonin levels in grasshoppers. Serotonin causes the change to locust. The more grasshoppers there are, the more they bump into each other. The more they bump into each other, the more serotonin is released. The more serotonin released, the more likely the next generation will become locusts. Those locusts are more active, more aggressive, and more destructive to plants.

Thank you for your hard work and great content. And as for the all of the aholes in the comments, well engagement is engagement, I don't think the algorithm really cares what the comments actually says.

If the males only make the noise LORDT!

We found a ton around the Logan Martin Lake in Lincoln AL. There were 2 trees they were flying all around them, one was a mulberry, one was a fallen log that was at the bottom of the 2 trees, I was so excited to find a mulberry, I didn't think to find out what the other tree was. But my son wants to try to eat one.😊😮

I'm excited to see more bug eating

If I learned anything about humans, it is if there is a demand then the supply will be exploited to extinction.

Yes, please, more bug videos. Resourcing what's around us is important. Recipes are also great

Oh, my, you are brave. I am having a hard time imagining that critter in my mouth. Would I watch another video? Yes, because I am a curious person. How often? Once or twice a year would be my limit. I realize I am losing the opportunity to eat a nutritious, delicious, sustainable source of protein, and I wish it weren't so.

I got to experience a single brood emergence in Ohio when I was in high school, and was disappointed to only learn afterward that they were, in fact, as edible as shrimp or crab, and rather tasty according to a friend who had already known and decided to fry up a few. He described them as tasting like slightly burnt bacon, but that could also have simply meant he charred them more than necessary. I've subsequently tried chef-prepared tarantula, grasshopper, and cricket - all of which had the unpleasantly unfamiliar taste of formic acid. Not bad, just something I'd probably have had to grow up eating to really enjoy. I hope that cicadas stand up to their reputation of being good food, not merely survival fare.
