#foraging #cicada - Розваги
Once more, for people with a shellfish allergy, entomophagy is likely not safe for you! This is explained more in the video. This was the first video that I’ve ever made on a subject like this, which I feel is relatively foraging-adjacent. I have no idea if I’ll ever make another, so let me know if this subject is of interest to you!
Thank you all so much for watching. 🙏
Calculations: I was concerned that 1 million per acre was too high an average, so I ran several more calculations with more conservative estimates. No matter how I adjusted the numbers, realistically, the impacts from human consumption continued to come out as effectively negligible.
Maybe do some reading about anti nutrients 🤷
Kinda related to the topic of this video: Do you have any resources on foraging and eating clams? Specifically, the invasive Asian clams that clog up our creeks and rivers. I've foraged some before, but it's been a long time, and I didn't really know what I was doing anyway. If you don't have anything, that's alright. I appreciate it anyway, and I will keep trying to learn.
Disgusting.
@@fightforaglobalfirstamendm5617 wuss.
Jk you do what you want.
But their sad little eyes? How could you? 😢
Cats: waay ahead of you.
I don't get it 💀
The soft shell crabs of the insect world.
Exactly. Only crabs and shrimp and lobsters are bottom feeders eating stuff that they are there to clean up. Cicadas are feeding on nice clean tree root sap.
But don't eat if you have a shellfish allergy.
@@anyascelticcreations great point!
Bro, that was *EXACTLY* what I was thinking.
Its not just those with shellfish allergies that have to be careful. If you have dust mite allergies you also cant eat these or crickets etc as the same allergin for dust mites are also in those other bugs.
Finally, someone with some sense
@@Huntress_Raven its pretty common sense that you shouldnt eat something you are allgeric to.
Finally I have an excuse for my aversion to crickets. They just gross me tf out. I refuse to feed them to my reptiles but have no problem with Dubia
Thank you for sharing this!
@LGrian so you'll feed literal roaches to your reptiles but not krickets? gee your soooo smart Dubia roaches totally don't carry more diseases than krickets😒
I actually really liked this video. They lowkey look pretty good where normally a lot of bugs would not.
Shrimp are bugs, sea bugs. Fisherman hated them, sold them to farmers for fertilizer. Same as lobsters, poor people's food.
yup. both considered trash poor ppl food until the rich learned they were delicious and now they ruined the market for us. don't let the rich get cicadas too
Lots of poor people ate lobster, and they soon became rarer and rarer. This brought the price of lobster up, making the aristocrats suddenly love this poor man's fish.
When I was growing up on the Gulf coast of Texas in the 1960s, if you wanted to feed a big crowd you got shrimp, 'cause they were so cheap. Or you caught a whole lotta crawdads.
I hate shrimp. Dont think id like it lol
The reason people hated them was because they rot in like two days and you have to remove the poop tube at their back with a knife before cooking. No one had a way to freeze them 300 years ago
When I was a kid, my dad fried up a few cicadas and cut them into little pieces for us to try. They were like eating Baco fake bacon bits. Pretty good, as far as I remember, so if I manage to find any as fresh as you mention I will try it again, now 30 years later. I do remember him picking one straight off the tree out of its exoskeleton. I wonder where he got his knowledge of them back before the internet 🤔
👍👍. Cool mart Dad! 👃✌️🇨🇦. (smart) oops.... 🥰
We've lost so many oral traditions, always ask your elders questions
@@gracequalls9770You need to thank your mother, that because of her oral traditions, you didn’t have as many siblings as you might have had to share your sh@t with😂
From the same people who put it on the internet
Pro tip, if you aren't sure about how quickly you can get to processing them, and/or have the patience to wait, collecting the nymphs can be a great way to get the least tough cicadas to eat. Just wait at home for each to molt and reach the desired stage before cooking. Bonus shells for compost.
Other side of this coin: if you gather teneral cicadas and find some have already darkened too much by the time you get them home, let them finish hardening safely indoors then release to maybe introduce more cicadas to your neighborhood for the next time!
I knew a guy who's mom would send him out with his brother and a BB gun to bring home as many as they could. His mom would pull out what he described as a white ball of meat from inside the exoskeleton. She would drop this into the soup she was making. My friend said it was delicious.
It would personally take me a while to get over the ick factor before eating bugs
But I'm definitely fascinated and would love to see you make more vids about bugs
Yes more entymophogy(?) videos please!!!!!!!!
@@rachellestringer entomophagy!
As a former biology teacher. I had a day where we ate insect and grub worms. Kids didn’t HAVE to eat them but the BONUS POINTS were very attractive so the very students who would probably not eat them at least tried. still get students who hit me up n tell me it was the most memorable of the class. I also had reptiles in class n other animals. So that’s saying something. We raised a bath of orphaned opossums another hit. Boy we had fun.
Would love to have had you as my teacher. Probably wouldn't have eaten the grubs though. Lol.
My 9th grade biology teacher also had a bug day. There was a cicada brood that came out that year and she brought in a tray for us all to try. I'm glad for the exposure
As a kid, I made some other kids eats bugs on playground. I can only imagine that they have similarly fond memories
I've tried them several times and thought that once you get passed what you're eating, they taste great.
I had them fried in butter and salt, delicious
They look like theyd go good with sweet potatoes, rosemary, garlic, white rice...
Tempura the lil guys with some okra and dip them in a spicy sweet mint sauce. It's just some tree shrimps.
Yum 😋
"Tree shrimp" is wild
Tree shrimps haha 😂 You’re not wrong, people are flipping out over something people have eaten for a long time
Idk I think just frying them is best
Coming to your house for dinner. Your fault. 😂
Thank you for mentioning the shellfish allergy. No one ever does, and it is really dangerous for this type of allergy.
I used to play with them when I was a kid. I’ve handled thousands of them and I never got bitten.
Because these don't bite.
@@Agustina-ko4um exactly! 😊
I fed one to a praying mantis once
@@Cheese-is-its-own-food-groupwhat do you mean they don't bite one of them stuck that little mouth part into my arm and it hurt
@@SonofHermes7 same! 🤭🤪
Definitely goes hand in hand with foraging. We don't have periodic cicadas in my area, but I have dabbled with grasshoppers.
Found in GA lowland forest emerging around American Sycamore, Sweetgum, Maple, and River Birch. Adult form seen feeding on a young Sweetgum. The Sycamore did have a massive poison Ivy vine over 2 inches in diameter growing on it. Hundreds scrambled to cling to this vine causing the leaves and branches to sag. Not sure if it was just a coincidence or if they were attracted to it.
I've read of people eating Locusts in the bible. Have wondered if they were eating Cicadas and we just use the diffremt name now. I've eaten mealworms and crickets. Both are eas to raise and, for those who are squeemish, dehydrating, grinding into a power and cooking into soups works.
I raise crickets for that purpose on my property. I don't eat a lot of regular meats, a texture thing, but if crickets are dehydrated and ground down, they don't taste bad and it adds a lot of protein to dishes. My crickets are mostly fed table scraps (onions peels, potato peels, occasional carrot tops, stuff like that).
Locust are eaten across the world. Taste like shrimp from what I hear
My pup used to dig these up..she loved them
Well said man. We are nature. People forget about where we come from it blows my mind
That's so cool! I don't live in cicada area, but I want to try some if I'm given the chance someday.
I've been following your channel for a bit now, and it's so helpful with my foraging journey! You post videos right as stuff gets ripe in my area and I'm having tons of fun!
Don't worry about all the people commenting negatively, more interaction with your video means more people will see it!
Im down for more of this. Its really useful information in a survival sense too. I'll try any food at least once
Jesse, this was fantastic. I applaud your hard work, research, editing, and speed with getting this published. I have enjoyed seeing your channel grow over time. Keep up the awesome work.
Thank you so much! Yes, it was a labor of love from beginning to end!
Everything wants to eat these things especially cats and fish but I have wondered a long time if they could be eaten by real humans. Great video!
The first time I ate a softshell crab sandwich it looked strange with it's feet, (claws and such), hanging out the side of the bread. The waitress saw my distress and she told me, "Just don't look at it, close your eyes and bite down on it, Honey." I did as I was told and it was good. The same could be said about this culinary delight.
I’m genuinely surprised by the number of nay sayers on a channel all about foraging and eating sustainably. Awesome presentation, informative from beginning to end. You’re always doing your best for the community so thank you!
Sounds like W.E.F. support to me
@@TherubbersluggchannelOh stop 🙄
@@mrjgilbertand who the f are you to tell me what to do?
@@Therubbersluggchannel you sound like you watch fox news
@@dr_spwewps you sound like a beta
"The wings, the legs...they don't bug me at all." They don't BUG you...hahaha! Nicely placed pun.
Why are so many people announcing your aversions to insects? Loads of people hate mushroom and leafy greens, yet I’ve never seen comments like the ones here. It feels almost political. Bizarre.
Yeah the “government wants to force us to eat bugs so anything related to the topic must be part of their psy-op” crowd is here lol. It’s hard to express how silly this is on so many fronts. But hopefully folks can appreciate Jesse providing awesome foraging content!
Because of Klaus Schwab and the WEF
Latest attempt to distract credulous right wingers from the actual issues.
It probably is political for some people. For me though I don't think of insects as food. I get a deeply uncomfortable repulsive reaction to the though of chewing on bugs. Very different from just not enjoying certain foods. I can't help it and honestly I don't want to change that. I am fascinated that a lot of people don't seem to feel this way though.
Since Western society stopped eating bugs, it's become thought of as "primitive", "poor", "foreign" in the US. Also note the converse: red meat is conceived as masculine and American.
As the climate crisis intensifies, there's pressure to change the status quo (Americans consuming ridiculous amounts of meat) as the ecological impacts of animal agriculture are obvious. Many right-wing people feel threatened by this. Over time, internet discourse (largely on 4chan) evolved from "the leftists want us to eat bugs, I'm never giving up my steak" to a full-blown conspiracy theory that "global elites" want to enslave the masses and make them eat bugs. Hence the phrase "I will not eat the bugs" actually containing more meaning, being coded speech expressing support of this concept without saying it explicitly (similar to "let's go Brandon")
TL;DR: it's highly political due to a right-wing narrative that "the other" (leftists/shadow government/whoever) wants to force them to eat insects
"Do you think that they're going to remove every last bug from a final product such as flour?"
Vegan's worst nightmare.
Not even close. Exact opposite.
@eugenetswong When I was vegan, for 6 years, and bought products online, I'd always see questions involving bugs in food from vegans. It's funny how now vegans seem to be okay with bugs being on the menu, if only as a replacement for meat...
Funny how things change.
Best wishes!
@@HeroBComplex We don't want it for ourselves. It's very logical.
At 1 time, they might have been concerned about bits in grains, but many don't care anymore, since it means less suffering. A few thousand accidental bugs vs. millions of deliberate mammals, right?
@@eugenetswong Insects are alive just as much as any other animal. Accidental insect deaths are fine, but more insect deaths for the purpose of consumption isn't better than eating a cow or a chicken. Why? Because you'd be killing way more animals in order to sustain people at the same level of calories.
Knowingly eating a bug or a cow is the same in terms of 1 life = 1 life, neither one's more moral than the other, but you'd have to kill a lot of bugs to equal a cow.
I was vegan for over 6 years and ate as balanced and clean as possible, but as time went on I had way less energy and found myself being way too sensitive to everything. I'm okay with veganity, obviously I was one, it just wasn't something my body could handle.
Best wishes all the same on your path ahead!
@@HeroBComplexI wasn't advocating before you on the goal of eating insects.
Eating insects causes less harm in the environment. They definitely suffer less, when you can kill them easily.
You have a interesting point about less lives per calorie, but it's not good enough. Some lives do have more value.
Maybe you should try the vegan diets that competitive vegan athletes use.
While I personally hope to never HAVE to eat ANY bugs...I'm not naive enough to know we may one day not have a choice...Especially, the poor. I loved the video (I did have to look away when you stuck them in the boiling water...and I grew up watching my uncles fry frog legs...anyone who has seen that, knows what I mean lol, but absolutely LOVE frog legs!). With that being said...I'd prefer harvesting my own than to be tricked in to what is trying to be pushed on us by sneaking it in to our food...which they're already doing! Looks like I may be the minority here...but I appreciated the info and would enjoy similar ever so often.
Exactly. 100% agree with what you’ve said here. I used to live in Latin America and have tried crickets before, and I’m honestly not bothered by the taste. And I also don’t mind the idea of willingly supplementing with bugs to get protein. What I absolutely do mind, is that certain elites are pushing for a two-tier system where rich people can eat whatever they want, and poor people have to be deprived of heme-iron rich foods like beef, while they sneak bugs into our products and pretend that’s not what they’re doing when they’ve already been caught. I also have to question whether said bugs are the same natural bugs you and I can get in our yards, or GMO bugs that they’re using to force something else on us like they tried to do a few years ago. Something really strange and creepy is happening on the societal level. I don’t have a weird superiority complex about bug eating, I’ve had it before, but I don’t like the direction things are going in the world.
100% agree with you here, on both matters
They're not tricking anybody. They've been using insect and insect products in our food for decades
I spent a lot of time in China from 2015 - 2018, I've eaten things that most western folks would gag at the thought of eating, and I absolutely loved it. Food is so cheap and fresh in China.
How was that gutter oil 😂
Fresh and China is an oxymoron lol. Did you try the spit oil or the pee beer? How about the formaldehyde veggies or lymph node pork, mmmhmmm tasty.
Nice video dude.
I've never seen the dark cicadas before, they're green where I grew up with them.
I was really excited when I heard the cicadas would be in bloom this year, I grew up pruning trees in W. Texas and one day I realized that I hadn't seen nor heard a cicada in years.. I saw one the other day and it was a surprisingly nostalgic moment, took me back to the treetops as a kid accidentally planting a hand on one and having it go off like some kind of demented car alarm..😂
You will eat C bugz....K.S.
I've had one before. I put some lemon pepper seasoning and roasted it in the oven. It was crunchy, kinda like bacon a little. I've got my calendar set for the next cicada harvest in my region in Northeast Ohio
I'd love to see some more in-depth cicada-cookery! Also, it sounds like you're planning on trying some other types of invertebrates. I've had crickets and earthworms in the past, and found them both enjoyable; I'd love to see your forays in this regard.
Well never did I think I would want to eat a bug but I might have to try this.
Huh, I'm oddly very interested in this
Thanks for your experimenting!
As someone who loved freeze dried crickets as a kid I can vouch that this would probably be pretty good.
Some survival trainings require forest foraging. Food can be found everywhere except Antarctica. Unless near the shore
I just ate a Ladino clover flower from my yard after watching that video. I wish you would do one on eating locusts like John the Baptist.
Ditto on John the Baptist as I always wondered if he ate them raw or prepared, either in honey or cooked.
Just recently found out it was the locust Bean that grew in that region, not an actual insect. 🤯 I always wondered about that too, how wild honey and bugs would be enough to sustain a grown man all year long:)
I have heard that about the locust tree. I don’t know which is correct. Either or both would make an interesting video.
One of the most important food sources for bears in some areas is moth larvae. Apparently it's essential for their ability to put on enough weight for the winter. If I remember correctly those same bears will rip apart bee hives to get the larvea and the honey, too. If that kind of thing is so important to bears I would think it could sustain a human too. @@Di17227
@steelmote
Grasshoppers and locusts are 2 very different things. They do not transform nor shapeshift.
the cicadas are emerging in the chicago area, gonna try them as soon as i can find them
I wanna try this. Please make more entomophogy vids. Thanks for this upload.
Im going to make a receipe... and try them. Dipped in Egg and Powdered Garlic Floured and Deep fried...
Yes, show us how to fry them.
I’ve found them around Bradford pears pretty frequently
I would like more videos like this, for survival when shtf. I prefer mine gathered by myself than something sold at a market.
I don't eat any animals but if there was nothing else, I'd eat bugs.
Bugs are people too
😂😂😂@@thschnick
That's funny...I don't eat plants...nope! LOL..I'd eat weird stuff too if nothing else.
We are overdue for a massive CME...no power grid! We may sample a bug or two before it's over!
But I do LOVE ANIMALS (some taste really good too)
If no one has your back...bug out with jerky and kraut.
You've been sick more times than you can count the last 5 years haven't you?
@@michaelhart8288You might very well be right because while I was vegan, 6 years, I'd convince myself over and over that I was healthier than when I ate meat. I was wrong, even though I ate a balanced diet I got weaker and weaker. I finally caved and am in better shape than I ever was as a vegan. It may work for some but not for me...
Best wishes!
This was fascinating! Thank you for sharing with us!
I've been seeing tons of them gathered on the red maples planted around my apartment building. They weren't burrowed there but they are gathering there.
Klaus put you up to this?
My thoughts exactly!

Klaus was removed from his home in Switzerland, in which a gun fight broke out. Klaus had around 30 body guards too. Delta squad took at least one casualty but completed the job.

Do you eat lobster, shrimp, or crawfish? Genetically they are as close to cockroaches as you can get. They are water roaches.
I think I will save them for my chickens and turkeys!!!
shroom cicadas were not what I expected to discover in this video but I'm delighted that I did 😂😂
I enjoyed this. It is good to know about options.
OMG 18:53 please do! There are so many. I’ve only ever tried crickets and meal worms (the ones that are poofy and covered in cheese dust). But I hear ants are good. I also hear crickets can taste like what you feed them. So if you have some mint going wild make mint flavored crickets. I haven’t tried them.
A question: I forage so I’m not as worried. How do you ensure bugs are “food grade”? I assume same caution as foraging plants but you never know.
I do want to figure out how to preserve them for my chickens later!
Try freezing them
@@looknailittlechannel I don't have that much freezer space. 😪
@@cynthiacollins2668I wonder if after boiling they could be dried?
Could you put them on a Pizza?
I don't know what state you're in but I'm in Sylacauga Alabama and I can hear the exact same sound there as I hear here. sounds like a water faucet running on low. a constant hissing sound. crazy.
I prefer my cicadas fried and then dipped in chocolate. You can sprinkle some sea salt on top or large granular sugar before the chocolate firms up. . Place on a wax paper lined baking sheet and freeze then bag.
This is have they cook them in Mexico
Thanks. Great vid!✌

EXCELLENT 🎉❤ loved this new option in foraging!
people worried about the ethics of boiling a cicada alive need to climb down from their moral high ground and go check the hood of their car right now 😂
My old rabbit used to go wild eating these.
More videos on this process plz
Id bet different tree varieties have Cicadas that taste like tree
Very interesting theory! The larvae feed off of plant roots, while the adults feed off of tree trunks.
While you can't guarantee that the ones you're gathering have been feeding off of the roots of the trees they're climbing on, I'm very curious to see if ones gathered from one area tastes different from another.
I'm definitely going to play with the idea.
I'm pretty big into beneficial bacteria and just read they have several very unique strains in them.
That is an amazing video! And a very pleasant surprise. I would love to see more videos about cicadas and other insects. Maybe some clamps and stuff like that, as somebody already mentioned in the comments. That is a fascinating subject and a fairly empty niche in the UA-cam foraging.
Thank you for your hard work and great content.
And as for the all of the aholes in the comments, well engagement is engagement, I don't think the algorithm really cares what the comments actually says.

Locusts aren’t “closely related” to grasshoppers. They *are* grasshoppers. When there is an abundance of edible plant material for them, their populations grow. Physical contact with each other boost serotonin levels in grasshoppers. Serotonin causes the change to locust. The more grasshoppers there are, the more they bump into each other. The more they bump into each other, the more serotonin is released. The more serotonin released, the more likely the next generation will become locusts. Those locusts are more active, more aggressive, and more destructive to plants.
Good video 👍
Our bodies are not designed to digest insects exoskeleton. Cicadas only have a straw shaped tube to suck tree sap. There's no way they can bite you. Their front digging legs may pinch a little, but that's it. Those little red eye devils are interesting for sure. I've always called Cicadas hot bugs because on the hottest days they're screaming from the heat. 🥵
I'll send some to Klaus Schwab.
Too late. He was arrested at his home in Switzerland. Delta squad got him while he was in bed hooked up to a machine giving him an IV drip of that "A" word. The darkness will come to light ✨️
No fake news Klaus Schwab never got arrested.
i will try them this year when ours do appear 🤗 we have annual ones called dogdays so i cant get the 221yrs abundance harvest but im still excited to try
A bit of a risky video, great job! Thanks for the knowledge
Good video! If we had them here (WA state) I'd definitely eat them
Have chickens. Chickens eat the bugs. Human eats the chickens.
And that's just as it should be!
Real reality. Bugs are not food for human kind. If some choose to eat bugs, does absolutely not mean I have to. Common sense. Besides that, what about any food allergies, now that cricket powder is being added to food under the guise of some other name. Best cook and bake at home, from simple one ingredient items.
And your point is ? Skip the chicken?
Birds are able to digest Chitin... humans, not so much...
@@joaquinmurrieta8912 this is false and disproven years ago human gastric juices contain chitinase the enzyme that dissolves chitin. If there was a problem with eating insect we would already have seen it happening within the current existing cultures that eat insects regularly.
This is so fascinating! I just found your channel and have been enjoying your content.
I would love a video on the edibility of Grasshoppers and locusts/crickets! The Bible lists some of them as “clean”, so I’ve always wondered what they taste like, but never had the guts to try them. 😅
I also heard somewhere that there are some kinds that you should NOT eat. Now I wonder if there are certain stages where you should or shouldn’t eat them, too.
Well we eat shrimp and lobster so hmmm maybe
"The legs, the wings, doesnt *bug me at all.", ah i see what you did there 😅
How can you devour those cute little bugs? Let them hum another day.😊
Someone out there is probably going to try making a tincture of those fungal masses, I imagine. Cathinone and Psilocybin? That sounds like something some people would, like, really, really like.
You should try them with some chili powder and salt, maybe a little lime.
Im not going to eat them, although I feel like that would be tasty if you like them
Not saying I WILL but is eating the ones with the fungus dangerous or merely psychoactive
Right 😂😂😂 these are the correct questions.... for uh, science 👀
If the males only make the noise LORDT!
please do Japanese knot weed a wonderful, high in silica herb. (or invasive species depending) incredible medicinal
This video really brought out the kooks in the comments...
Imagine being this angry and announcing your unsubbing over this, that doesn't even affect you. I'm seeing all these dudes being squeamish, so far none of them women. Just dudes throwing tantrums.
seems like a ton of them are weird conservatives who believe in some weird conspiracy theory
@@WobblesandBean Agreed
Kooks? Conspiracy theories? 😂 grow up
@@dr_spwewpsWEF is not a conspiracy theory
