Is she putting the dogaway back into its box? If so, because it did its job? Or did they just buy a brand new dogaway and are about to release it for the first time? It looks like she is pushing the box down on that dogaway’s head, so it leads me to believe it’s the former. But based on the instructions that the guy is reading it leads me to believe it’s the latter.
I think Mrs. got a little too anxious and instead of putting the box in the yard, tried to open it inside. She’s just now realizing her mistake but the proverbial genie can’t be put back in the bottle. The barn door is attempting to be closed with the lovecraftian horse running free. Dog-be-gone also doubles as Karen-be-gone
"Kritsky noted on his website, cicadasafari.org, that it's rare to have a dual emergence between Broods XIII and XIX, an occurrence that only happens once every 221 years." Ooh, go check out the website. Super nifty cicada info!!
Illinois and SE US should be the big locations. Anyone got cicada recipes they want to share?
I've heard connoisseurs recommend eating the newly molted cicadas when they're as fresh as possible - before the exoskeleton has time to dry. This keeps their texture soft, like cooked shrimp. Or so I'm told.
A local pizza shop around here made cicada pizza with brook X a few years ago.
Option 3 might be something like those deep fried scorpion skewers you sometimes see in Asia. If you can get past the crunch, it might be nice with some spicy seasoning.
I saw one come up from the ground one time, and they appear very delicate at that point. It didn't take long for it to find a place in the sun, the wings to uncurl, and harden, then it flew away. I'm seeing some recipes, basically fry and toss with salt, spices, lime, etc. I'm not in The Zone for this one, but there are always some around here in season.
Ah, you had me worried for a second there by calling it a ‘practice’. Turns out it was just a fictional one. 😅
Otherwise I was just going to mention William’s attention-seeking son, Showen Tell.
This reminds of a long time ago when they were rolling out Outlook to replace the other email client we had. It was a big mess. One guy suggested the haul and crawl folk running between everyone's PCs should say "Look out!" instead of Outlook.
This is why I call it Look Out now instead of Outlook.
