Don't scream: These insects are delicious, fans say

In Jiangsu province, people with flashlights often spend summer evenings peering into the darkened branches of trees in search of a local specialty - cicadas.

The strange looking insects are a popular snack.

The cicadas, which develop quickly after hatching, are easy to catch. Su Zhen, a college student in Nanjing, said cicadas are a favorite of his relatives in Xuzhou city.
