Corn nibblets? Whats that? And what kind of fish do you catch on it?
Corn that comes in a can. I like to catch catfish with it. Yumm!

What they taste like?
I personally think it is very gross to eat bugs. But that is my prejudice. Crustaceans like lobster and crab are delicious but they are not too different from terrestial arthropods like scorpions and insects like cicadas. I think we are not bothered by eating the "bugs" of the sea because they are not terrestial and freak us out. I swear I cannot stand living in the tropics when the cockroaches crawl everywhere at night and when they take wing to mate and I have to kill about a dozen roaches (big fellas too, the B-2 bombers) a night in order to sleep when it's bad. :(((

I have been patiently awaiting their arrival-I hear that they are starting to come up in Indiana, but no signs in Ohio yet. Everyone is talking about them, it should be a fun experience!!!

As long as I can remember, I've always enjoyed the song of the Cicada. We had not had any show up around our home until last night. One lone creature was on the roof right outside my window, rubbing it's wings together for half the night. It was gone this morning.
We have seen many all over the place the closer to DC we go in our travels. Most of them die as they are molting out of their shell on the ground. They are eaten by birds, or other animals, or stepped on or run over. No wonder they sing so much while they can!
