Cicadas 2021

This year we will see an extraordinary amount of cicadas in our backyards but don't fret, we can use this event for our benefit.

After they emerge from the depths, the cicadas find a mate and soon die. Their crispy bodies left in the trees eventually fall to the ground. This year, they may cover your yard! 

Did you know you can eat cicadas? For all the keto dieters, these bugs are low fat, low carb, gluten-free and a good source of protein. Let me know if you decide to eat them.

The bodies are great in the compost pile, just add some green and water to the pile afterwards.
