If you’re in the United States, and you’re tired of the usual food that you eat, then you might want to try the insects that have emerged recently — the cicadas. That’s right. They’re edible. Of course, eating insects is not for the faint of heart. But if you want some strange excitement in your life, then you might want to look into the practice of eating insects, known as entomophagy.
Aside from cicadas, which insects are edible? Floyd Shockley, the entomology collections manager at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of Natural History, provides us with a list of edible insects, as well as how to prepare them. Check the list over at Smithsonian Magazine.
