Couldn’t miss my chance to take some photos of these beautiful Periodical cicadas! I must say, they do look a bit “derpy”

Oh man. I miss these dumb little guys.
With the double brood this year It’s going to be crazy. Hahah. Sometimes I miss it because it always meant summer was coming.

This is going to be a seriously weird question but…
@hellfire_exotics, would you be willing to collect ~500g worth of these and overnight them to me? I will cover the shipping. I have a project in mind that could use these but I am nowhere near the current eruption

I saw some article where a guy was making statues out of the shed exoskeletons. They were kinda cool and Bionicle looking.

Putting them into the dead carcass of a random dead deer you dragged 3 miles to your house that you then put in an air tight box to see what will happen?
That level of weird?

Nothing would seem weird to me coming from @t_h_wyman Travis………

Dang Logan, are you living in my head???
Seriously though, not quite that level of weird. But there will be carcasses and there will be an air-tight container. And I already (mostly) know what will happen, too. There is just a little bit of nebulousness to the absolutes of the final outcome and that is what I want to discover

Wow…@logar you guessed that? Lol 
, Travis…I think we are all interested now, I mean, at least I am that weird to want to know 
. It is a safe space for dark things like this .

Well, assuming I am successful in acquiring some, I could potentially make final product available (in limited quantities) to those that are feeling as adventurous as myself
