Cicada shell

I didn't know what a cicada shell was called, so I Googled it: Cicadidae. I also learned that cicadas are edible and taste somewhat like asparagus. Even though they are plentiful right now and asparagus is pricey, I have decided to stick with real asparagus!

So glad to hear you have sense enough not to cave into culinary possibilities! Terrific shot of the shell too!

I'd have to stick with the real green stuff. What a just amazing shot.

I would go without greens before I try this. a nice picture, but no thanks.

Ugh...thinking about eating it. BUT, fantastic capture with great detail and an interesting commentary!

Crunchy, undercooked asparagus that is! LOL I'm with you on sticking with the real thing. Great shot though!
