Princeton, New Jersey, is currently dealing with Brood X invasion. For those unaware, Brood X or The Great Eastern Brood is of the largest of the 15 broods of periodical cicadas that emerge every 17 years throughout the eastern United States. The cicadas are expected to emerge in more than a dozen states on the eastern side of the country. And for some high schoolers, they are proving to be a delicious snack.
A group of students at Princeton High School has been eagerly waiting for the cicada's arrival. The excitement among these kids is so much that they've even formed an insect-eating club in the school. Formed in 2020, the club has around 50 members, although only four to five active members usually attend the weekly meetings. Club members host tasting events, as well as bug-raising projects. Check out this video of them serving cicada tacos.
