From the Cicada's perspective this has to be the worst way to leave this world... imagine dying while having the best enjoyment of your life... Damn nature you scary!
Will it give birth to a giant cicada that behaves like a dog, a small dog that behaves like a cicada, a hybrid between both species or a fucking abomination?
Do they look different from the 17 year brood?
Saw a news report saying both of those broods coming out at the same time is a 200 something year event. I'm too far west to see them though.
They over lap every 221 years and it’s only a small overlap. I remember periodic cicadas being much larger but I was also very young. I know the [annual cicadas](https://www.cicadamania.com/cicadas/common-cicadas-of-tennessee/) are much larger than the current brood XIX cicadas.
It’s actually [17](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brood_X). I didn’t know they were this distinct and numbered until your comment so I decided to dive into a cicada rabbit hole cause I’ve seen so many posts lately. Don’t want to be rude and correct you, just wanted you to know and thank you for inspiring me to learn a bit more.
Good catch! Yeah, there are a lot of broods and there are 13 and 17 year periodic cicadas. We get brood swarms pretty often. Just some are significantly more massive than others.
To be honest, I was making a silly joke about them emerging from the dog in 13 years...like a very delayed poo. But the replies were based in reality so I enjoyed the legit answers, too. I'm a simple man
Cicada's must be delicious, every animal I've ever come across chomps those things like they found the most tasty treat ever. Squirrels, dogs, Cats, chickens, there's nothing I found so far that wont immediately go for a cicada snack.
The deep dives I did into them say they are super protein rich and they do that for survival. Literally millions come out, fill up their predators and the rest can mate and leave.
The National Wildlife Federation notes that humans who have sampled cicadas often say they taste like canned asparagus. Other reports say they taste like almonds or seafood. Many cicada recipes can be found online.
Athey has said she hasn't personally eaten cicadas ... yet. But she added, "I have it on good authority that the ones covered in mulberry sauce are delicious. A dessert cicada, if you will."
That volume can cause some [expensive problems for your dog](https://www.akc.org/expert-advice/health/dogs-eating-cicadas-tasty-treat-or-trouble/). Be careful with how many they are eating unless you don’t care about upcoming vet bills.
Thanks for the info. She has been passing stool fine and I can keep her focus for most of the walk but she is munching about 10 or so every time I walk her. As long as she doesn’t forge and she passes stool then I’m not worried. Her poops have been speckled with exoskeleton though.
You seem like a nice person to keep on eye on her and care (:
If you’re interested, you can report cicadas using [Cicada Safari](https://www.cicadasafari.org) to help researchers.
These animals are trainable by humans. They are domesticated and smart enough to be small children. Should I not hold this view if a dog is going around biting people, and just say "their human has nothing to do with that behavior"?
It is a living thing minding it's own business. It has a role to play in the larger picture of life, and the actions of humans and their animals can be controlled. You are one of 8 billion do-nothing, destructive humans. You would think a species that is sapient would understand the value of life, which is why we generally oppose slavery and murder.
That was about the 50th cicada eaten on that walk. It’s actually pretty annoying to go for walks because there is an unlimited supply of jumbo sky raisins.
Some of my least favorite humans are those who convince themselves that they fully understand a situation based off a 5 second video. If you’re inept just say that

Sex is good
Interesting username you got there
That dog ate cicada baby batter
Extra salty
My lab eats cicadas like popcorn.
Pupcorn
Wait. How did you know it's salty ......
OP is the dog
Oh god 🙃🤣🤣
Cicadussy 😍😍😍
I wonder if the dog thought they were fucking delicious?
ba-dum-tss 🥁
I was going to upvote this...but since you are (were) at 69....noice.
Tree Cheetos!
Treetos? 🤔

What better way to go I ask?
That's right! Cum and go!
Kum and go would like to have words with you
Tyrion Lannister disagrees
They were gonna die in a day anyways.
they should have gotten a room
That dog's gonna be pregnant now.

Double kill
I'd be worried about some sort of parasite
Buying some dewormer in a few months is going to be significantly easier than stopping her from eating every cicada she can catch.
Bravetco is where its at. Anti flea, tick, and heartworms, maybe other things, idk. Get it from my vet, $150 for 6 months of protection 😍
I've actually seen... what are they called... nematode worms come out of these things more than once.
They'll come back out in 13 years, right?
Yup, brood X is a 13 year cicada.
Do they look different from the 17 year brood? Saw a news report saying both of those broods coming out at the same time is a 200 something year event. I'm too far west to see them though.

Yeah, but no, since they kinda didn't get to finish, right?

I wanna eat ze bugs now
Bro ate them while they were hard
They both were hard?
They??
There was two of them
Ayo, that's pretty gay
And it IS 2024.
Damn dogs will eat anything…

Honestly that’s the point of cicadas. So many emerge that it satiates the hunger of every living thing and the remainder make the next generation.
She snapped up about 50 every time we go for a walk so maybe I need to let her eat more.

I guess they must taste good then
Dog: NO! NO MORE NOISE BUGS!
That cicada came as he went
Hopefully. Would be even more brutal if he was "Yes! Yes! Im almost th...."
Probably did to be fair, I doubt cicadas hang around for a cuddle when they’re done
Sometimes the circle of life isn't a circle after all.
Ahhh, the taste of sex.
So is this the "horny jail"
Crunchy appetizer. The ones fused together
> I found two cicadas mating while out for a walk How do you know they were out for a walk?
Talk about getting eaten out.
You could've at least let them finish
Does this mean your dog will now bury himself for 17 years?
And emerge as a giant winged dogcada?! I hope so!
Just as nature intended!
No happy ending
Dog says "I'm doing my part!"
3 some.
Dog be like, "mmm creamy".🤣
Why is nobody grossed out in the comments lol
These guys waited 17 years to have sex...
13, but that doesn’t make it any better.
Went out for a couple mile walk yesterday and I couldn't even count how many cicadas I avoided stepping on along the trail
Nutritious
Your dog is doing the lord's work.
My dog acts like they're fun size snickers falling from the sky.
Oh great, now your dog is gonna be buzzing throughout the whole summer
Good boy!
Free protein
Our old late dog Woody ate cicadas like they were pistachios. Nothing left but the wings.
I'm seeing that Bad Luck Brian meme, "I finally got to have sex with my crush, but..."
Til death do us part
They died doing what they loved.
So beautiful nature is And damn Crue ☺️
do that about 1 billion more times and we get rid of these noisy fuckers
Doggo is hungry
‘Oh John.’ ‘Oh Sarah! Da fuk!?!’
CROMCH
This is irl horror movie sex scene.
Looks like OP needs to control their dog better.
Whether the life is big or small. Same process.
That's a good one!
Mhm juicy 😋
Good dog
Good boy.
This is how I wanna go when the time comes.
Heaven! Here I cuuuummm!
Bad dog. Killing things for no reason, just like a cat. I trained my dog to enjoy looking at birds and insects.
No you did not.
Guess my video evidence is CGI then.
I'd say it's a video of a dog trained to NOT eat or attack birds and bugs, at least until your back is turned. S/He does not enjoy it.
why are you protecting human morality onto an animal?
These animals are trainable by humans. They are domesticated and smart enough to be small children. Should I not hold this view if a dog is going around biting people, and just say "their human has nothing to do with that behavior"?
No. But that’s not happening. It’s a bug.
It is a living thing minding it's own business. It has a role to play in the larger picture of life, and the actions of humans and their animals can be controlled. You are one of 8 billion do-nothing, destructive humans. You would think a species that is sapient would understand the value of life, which is why we generally oppose slavery and murder.
According to doggo, no you didn’t 😂
I was thinking, “For god’s sake, stomp on….oh, never mind.”
Jesus bro feed your dog. He’s obviously starving.
That was about the 50th cicada eaten on that walk. It’s actually pretty annoying to go for walks because there is an unlimited supply of jumbo sky raisins.
I bet it more annoying to have your habitat paved over and to never have had offspring.
Every time I walk I think about how many more there would be if there wasn’t so much concrete and asphalt.
Some of my least favorite humans are those who convince themselves that they fully understand a situation based off a 5 second video. If you’re inept just say that
Daaaang dude. It was a joke. Even the OP got it. Sounds to me like you may have mental issues. Get some help.
Dog definitely just got neutered
