Any suggestions on what I can make with a bunch of excess cicadas?

Question

I've already cut out buying dog food for the pooch, and I'm going to whip up some roasted cicadas with peppers and some cicada chex mix tonight (Come on over girls, party at Sydney's). I was thinking of making some jewelry out of some too. I am sure there are probably some other crafty thing I can do, any suggestions?

Answer 1

feed them to  your popcorn snake.

Answer 2

Well i think you should lend some to god for when he finally decides to send the plaque our way! They will sure be useful!

Answer 3

Christmas tree ornaments. I know it's early.

Answer 4

Most of the references I found were for making Jewelry  from cicada cast in resin. The last site shows live insects bejeweled for a night out.  The only other thing I could think of is putting them in miniature state sets.  Romeo and Juliet cicada on the balcony!

Answer 5

OMG..I am so glad you asked this! I have written many books on this very subject (what a co-inky dink!) Please let me know which one you prefer. I will autograph it , and send it right out.

(PS I picked up the Kahlua mudslide mixer)
