浙江丽水人的餐桌上，蝉是一道不可少的美味。当地小饭店里吃蝉的人比吃小龙虾的多

Catching and cooking Lishui’s fave summertime menu item: the cicada

, G. H2 f. E' a( VSummertime means cicadas chirping throughout day and night. For some people, it can be annoying. However, for others, especially in Lishui, Zhejiang Province, the cicada is a popular snack and meal.

Lishui restaurants take more orders for cicadas than the usual seasonal favorite, crawfish. And the bug must similarly be stripped down: to eat a cicada, its head, tail and legs should be removed first, leaving only the abdomen.

Jiang Yongchun has been in the cicada wholesale business for years and says the rural areas of Lishui have long favored eating the insect.

"By the end of the 1980s, restaurants started to serve cicadas as dishes," Jiang said. Meals and snacks can be found on local menus from June to late September.

Cicada hunters often catch their prey after 7 pm, usually on phoenix trees, where they rest. The Global Times followed one such hunter, surnamed Li, catching them.

The bugs also fetch a good price at the table, at around 0.8 yuan ($0.12) each. However, the high cost isn't stopping fanatical cicada lovers.
