143: Cicada

SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!! Are you some of the blessed few who are experiencing Brood X right now? If so, we're jealous. This week we learn about the Cicada, a man of many talents. Ever wonder why cicadas spend most of their life underground? Or why when they emerge en masse they seem like a horror movie monster? What about their resonating chamber butts? Can they really cause hearing damage? Does their molt taste like popcorn? How do they use aposematism to protect themselves and why aren't you OUT THERE ENJOYING THE BUG LIFE RIGHT NOW.
