"The state Department of Natural Resources is reminding people not to illegally take cicadas from state park properties."

What kind of a psychopath is harvesting cicadas? That's some Jame Gumb level ****.

DNR in Wisconsin is paid to manage the woods as deer farms and the lakes as walleye aquariums, not sure WTF they are doing talking about cicada. BTW, some of the comments on that article are pretty golden.

Okay, full disclosure, I don't have that much respect for WDNR after years of dealing with those jerks. MnDNR guys were pretty decent when they were not being overridden by politics, basically really professional when they were allowed to be. IDNR was pretty meh, they didn't do much of anything pro or con when coordinating with them.

Last time the cicada hatch was around here, I came across a family of SE Asian heritage with burlap sacks filled to the brim. Those sacks could have held 100 helium balloons. There is clearly a use in some cultures. They were harvesting off the trees around saylorville lake

As a naturalized Wisconsinsite I was like 'Hey!' but then I was like 'Yeah that's basically true'.

I don't hunt so don't know that much about deer management other than stuff I won't mention since it's caveish and since I don't fish for walleye the more the merrier so those folks can go out there and jig all day for the same fish over and over again while I get plenty of space.

I'm not surprised people harvest them as much as I'm surprised they find them.

I don't think I've ever seen a cicada in real life.

I’ve got a long story about the Iowa DNR and it’s left a bad taste in my mouth so to speak. Wannabe cops…
 
Lake Geneva is one of the cicada hotbeds.

I lived in Lake Geneva during the last cicada emergence. It is insane. I remember the larvae completely covering the sidewalk, and I had no idea what was going on at first.

It’s hard to describe how loud and how many there were, without seeing it, it’s honestly hard to believe.
