Just wanted to let you all know that I have eaten a cicada, a raw live one.
Let me first say that the only thing you have to fight is the lifetime of psychological conditioning that teaches you that "bugs are yucky." In fact, cicadas hardly have any taste at all. The little taste they had was not in any way bad. If they were cooked and lightly seasoned they would probably be very tasty.
I know you all are going to think we are gross for eating them, but this opportunity only comes along once evey 17 years. I also think that is important to experience life and try new things.
