a. Fill your roommates bed with the bastards! -chesire coyote
b. Eating the wings is a terrible waste of wings. They have other uses. You can make a dress or shirt from cicada wings. You cant sew them but you can use elmers glue they also make lovely bridalveils and are much cheaper. You could probably make an entire wedding gown from cicada wings and save tones of money. -epom
c. Get some big Cicadas. Spray liberally with Shellac. String together for a nice necklace or loop them for earrings. Lovely.
Try selling them at your next yard sale! -tymbo5
d. WHEN I WAS SMALL ,WE USED TO CATCH THEM AND TIE A STRING TO THEIR BODIES AND LET THEM FLY AROUND -joselite380
e. Also used to put them in the old metal Band-Aid boxes and pretend we were shaving with an electric razor! LOL -ptflamingo
f. I was four years old during that swarm. When they die, they freeze onto the tree and sort of dry out right there. My brother and I used to wear there as rings!!! God, what were we thinking. Kids and no fear. We thought the swarm was cool. -keylargo23
g. Scraping them off the trees on my way back home from school, one rainy day, and putting them in my vinyl red and white ginghamraincoat pockets! -debs triumph
h. I can remember when I was a kid in Pennsylvania and my father would go out and shoot them with a BB gun. That's how big they get. -jaksvitak
i. I'm from Savannah Georgia, and every summer there were lots of cicadas, all over the place. I got pretty good with a badmitton racket. -mazamarcreations
j. No one seems to have mentioned that cicadas are incredible fishing bait. When I was a kid in Missouri, my brother and I caught hundreds of fish during the big cicada season. Cicadas are especially good bait for kids to use because they are big, slow, and easy to hook, and fish go crazy for them. carrideen
k. try tying the string to the top of a globe. They will panic thinking theyve flown too high. jfitzh1714
l. Scoop one up in a cup & put it in your bath tub & let the cat have a blast. Mine was a little fearful at first, but once she got used to it she snagged it up in her mouth by the wing & chased around the house with it buzzing against her nose. It was even funnier than when I stick a piece of tape on her back. -gimmoe
m. I use to collect their shells when I was a little girls. I would collect hundreds on the table and show my mom. I rememeber her mouth dropping. - wsorbital

I am concerned about this last person. She was more than one girl when she was little. oh yeah, I am wantin' a cicada wing bridal veil.
I like the fish bait idea. Other than that everybody else sounded totally whacked, lol.
So many of these comments seemed to jump right out of the movies "Deliverance/Wrong Turn!"
Logical explanations for....."Finding Fun" while torturing defenseless creatures, which could possibly be attributed to say, a bit of "interbreeding?" Or perhaps maybe taste testing too much of Pappy's moonshine......prepared out of that ole lead radiator?
HHMMM? Then again, could very well be city folk with altered brain chemistry resulting from too much drug use.
Not generally critical, but fail to see the pleasure in shooting "anything" just for the fun of it. Shallaking? Hanging strings from? Stringing for jewelry?
"May a bunch of aliens come to earth, do this to you, as a "Fun Things To Do With Humans! Wonder if you would be laughing then, "You Little Buggers!" :)
