Dogs love to eat cicadas

Cicadas are the world’s best dog toy/treat. It’s an angry hunt and kill game when one of those loud things goes screaming right by a dog.

It’s more of a chase and play game when a cicada is sitting still, and a dog walks up and starts sniffing it, then suddenly the cicada takes off buzzing and screaming in the dog’s face.

Cicadas don’t go down easily either. I’ve seen many a buzzing cicada captured in a dog’s mouth, only to be immediately released to begin the chase again. All hell can break loose if one of those things gets inside your house.
