Insect-infused food is gaining popularity with cicadas being added to dishes like cicada salad and roasted cicadas. Some people find the idea intriguing, comparing cicadas to lobsters as both are arthropods. However, the conflicting feelings arise from the crispy exoskeleton versus the juicy innards of cicadas.
