Cicadas! (maybe we need a Mildly Disgusting thread)

Thanks for that.
In Illinois, we're going to be blessed with a double-whammy of cicadas this year. Two broods (13 and 17 year) will emerge at once.
Gonna be bugtacular.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

But beyond their prodigious numbers and raucous noise, new research published in PNAS reveals that cicadas are special in yet another way — their urination. Based on their size and diet, scientists suspected they'd urinate in droplets, but it turns out that these insects produce jets of pee.
The surprising results have numerous applications when it comes to manipulating fluids at small scales — including 3D printing, drug delivery, disease diagnostics, and even testing compounds in outer space.
It's a striking discovery in a realm we know relatively little about, scientists say.
@mik. Funny that you post this. I just read about a similar thing and it was quite interesting.

Back in the early 1990s, we had a "picnic" at our home for the work people. It was a the height of the cicada emergence. The kids loved catching them and putting them into tupperware containers.
One of the surgeons went to the kitchen and started frying them up.
No, I didn't.
