The noisy choruses of Brood X cicadas are over, but cicadas have left behind evidence: dead branches where they laid their eggs.

Cicadas: They’re what’s for dinner.

The D.C. region’s favorite (only?) entomologist/hip-hop artist has a new track about the Brood X cicada emergence.

Cicadas, mealworms and crickets will be served at the Dutch Embassy after a discussion after insects as snacks later this month.

Fair warning: It’s pretty gross.
