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

Summertime 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.


3 h- k1 E2 c+ ]2 {' dLishui 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 primary piece of kit is a big hammer. Hit the trunk with the hammer, and lots of cicadas fall to the ground.
