The world: cicada apocalypse! Me: ah. Summer is here.

[@pythonparis]

LOVE this video! Can’t believe you got so much footage of the different life stages of cicadas all at once. And that time lapse was amazing! Have only really seen empty shells or dead cicadas, or heard them, of course. Have never seen one emerge from the ground or freshly molted on a tree.

[@Rissi9482]

Trying swinging while having Cicadas hit you is not only funny, but it hurts! We had so many emerge last year and they were ALL OVER the place. Those the fish at the pond I have they were enjoying jumping out the water to catch these big bugs for their meals. So we constantly heard fish splashing in the pond as they were going nuts for these bugs. Ever since I was little I ALWAYS played with Cicadas. I was a weird child. I would play with spiders, butterflies, moths, caterpillars, walking sticks, grasshoppers..etc. I was a bug girl and I still am. I LOVE learning so much about them and I hope when I'm stable enough financially I can start keeping a butt load of them!

[@tonydeluna8095]

Ooh yeah, cicadas! Awesome!

[@santoroaquatics5038]

15 comment you rock Kat I always enjoy your amazing videos 👍💯💪💪💯👍 and happy Tuesday

[@9sheri9]

Really cool cicada molt timelapse!! And the trip to the City Museum, pinning insects with George Diehl! I always love your uploads, but this one felt very special. 💕 Appreciate you so much, Kat. I love your passion for spiders, insects, and all creatures. I'm a cat mom, but also a strong advocate for all creatures that we share our planet with. Spiders are so misunderstood; they are unjustly vilified & indiscriminately exterminated by so many. Every time i have the opportunity, I save them & try to relocate them anywhere I'm at when people just want to squash them. 😭 Thank you for bringing a much needed light & respect to these creatures, and thank you for proving that cuteness can be found even in places where most people find things to be a little scary. Education & exposure are some of the best ways to show people that there's really nothing to be scared of. Best wishes, hugs, and lots of love to you. 🦄 🌈 ❣️🫶

[@tarantulakat]

Thank you so much!!

[@fayebell4716]

As long as I don’t get one caught in my hair this year 😂 Stay smart and gorgeous Kat!

[@autumnhaley6616]

I love cicadas! I hope they go crazy like that here in IN! :D

[@lindseybotelho]

So cool to see an expert do their thing. He's clearly very experienced.

[@theoriginalnik]

I love cicadas, their song just reminds me of camping in the summer when I was a kid 😊

[@sarah_grace3037]

That time-lapse was DOPE! ❤🎉

[@katielegate]

CITY MUSEUM YESSSSSS

[@DMcC]

Not sure why cicadas made me look, but Makeship rats you out again! I'm super happy how many of your creations are true spiders, and I thought the next one might be a tarantula again; I was thinking maybe Bon Bon...but I'm super pleased with what's coming. A great choice :)

[@gloriajackson2021]

My 17 year old son yesterday said "gosh those things are loud" lol

[@Lillian2167]

I love the sound of cicadas, we don't have them where I live sadly. :'''3

[@indigomoon4991]

I didn't know it depends on where you live. I live in Baltimore, and our 17-year cicadas happened when I had my baby in 2004, then again in 2021. See! Always learning from you. Also, the pinning tutorial was also. Thanks for being you!🕸🕷🦗🪲🐸🐊🐍🕸🪳🦂🐞🪰🦎

[@ghost_pine]

Oh instead of moth balls you can use listerine. I usually just do a little splash of it to keep mold out. I also don’t stick pins in the thorax of butterflies since it can be harder to get the pin out once they are dried

[@teresawoods5099]

A great tutorial! Am envious, no Cicadas in Seattle Area. 😢 Love that you are enjoying them emerging.

[@suzannebauer6234]

They have all kinds of new stuff at City Museum. Haven't been in years

[@avaogara]

I'm excited bit the cicadas coming !I love the sound they make😅

[@jillphelps8683]

OMG! I love pinning bugs! I live in Kansas and the cicadas aren’t here yet, but I plan on collecting a few! Loving your vlog!

[@spookysweetspoods1]

That bug pinning was so cool to see!!! I'm glad they let you film, that was so worth seeing. ❤

[@Nook_Miis]

This, this takes me back to the days before the 2020 lock-downs, I would be volunteering at the Royal BC Museums entomology collection pining for hours, there's another level to this as well called pointing, the pin go's through a paper point glue is added to the point and I'd have to stick the right half of a bug to the glue and stick it to the board, thing is the bugs were all dried out husks so the static from my hands would make both the container into a wild bug-nado or the legs on the pointed insect would pop off and go flying and I'd have to start all over again, fun times.

[@candyscott489]

Fascinating !! You’re in Bug Heaven !!

[@hippipunkchickb8672]

Kat!!!! I’m crazy fascinated about these cicadas! I’m 60 years old and have welcomed them all through out my life. When I was little, I collected them. I would hang them on my nose!!! That was back in the 70’s. I’m in a south suburban neighborhood from Chicago. I’m getting some footage. 0:13

[@Marilynmoonchild]

I cannot believe that you were experiencing this. I’ve been following this for years and you could the pleasure of experiencing this magical nature earth happening.

[@LukeMcGuireoides]

That was awesome. Brilliant content. What a ridiculously cool place.

[@xXxLunamitzaxXx]

I found this so interesting as I keep all my invert molts and carcasses and was thinking of pinning some of them. Thank you for this video x

[@UnCreativeBeliever]

That guy is awesome! I want to go to that museum one day!

[@desertsunshine]

This was a very cool episode! Thank you, Kat, for all your dedication. 🎉❤

[@michellemonts3114]

Thanks for sharing this! I’m in Illinois and just waiting for these cicadas to show up 🥰

[@Hep.F]

I loved this video! I find insects interesting and love watching them! Great video! Thankyou! ❤🪲🐞🐛 ❤️🐾🌿

[@darylmorse7337]

The pinning was pretty interesting

[@thegreatinvertebrate]

So bummed we live outside of the double brood zone, but I love seeing them in your videos lately! 🖤

[@CKammes]

That man has such steady hands. I'm so jealous. I could never use pins on such tiny insects. My hands are so shaky

[@chamclowder1231]

I LOVE the city museum!!!! It is an absolute must stop when we visit home!

[@claycefletcher7110]

i’m in STL! just came across your channel. love the content!!

[@Borealopelta]

amazing and interesting

[@januk7725]

that museum is really cool

[@dirtycorn4958]

Really cool video! Thanks for filming and sharing it 😀

[@Debora_9x]

I found interesting the pinning informations, but as far as it goes for me, I'll keep myself far away as possible from every type of bugs as much as I can. 😅 I enjoy watching some in my garden, but as long as we each have our own space, I'm good like that. 😂

[@cindyedge9127]

That was so cool! Thank you for sharing this!

[@TSUNAMI-MAMI]

Wow!!! Loved this video. Very cool museum

[@itsallgood4093]

I love the City Museum!

[@katiecrull77]

That place looks awesome!

[@Cool_Story_Bruh]

When I was a little kid I was scared of cicada shells lol they looked like little alien monsters to me

[@NoDecaf7]

this is fascinating, thank you for sharing!

[@Gloom_x]

i actually got a pinning starter kit on etsy and im so excited to collect bugs

[@kalikennetic2902]

Please post videos doing more pinning!!! I'd love to see some spiders be displayed. maybe a memorial for the late Wednesday.

[@lealibean3507]

Great video! Thank you for all the info! ❤

[@KatyB1113]

I hate cicadas…my dogs don’t though. You’re more than welcome to come to my house and get rid of them for me lol! Man, it’s been years since I’ve been to the City Museum! When people ask me some fun things to do when they vacation here, obviously the Zoo and Grants Farm (if in season) are a must, a Cardinals game, and the City Museum…although it is kind of expensive. I still haven’t made it to the aquarium yet, but hopefully will this summer.

[@lynnettecook6973]

Cicadas are good tarantula and lizard food!

[@dogskulls]

Cicadas are kind of cute

[@lindad1195]

That was very interesting!

[@valerielynn3444]

Haven't seen any in southern Wisconsin yet

[@mariestubbs4606]

Very interestin Kat ...

[@Pitpoots]

They don’t have big bug booms in Alaska, I can’t tell if I’m upset or relieved 😅

[@triciasanders2455]

Idk if your state has copperheads but cicadas are one of their favorite foods!

[@ChantalsCritters]

Great video

[@Puffstrashkindom]

EEEKKK!!!!! YAY I LOVE THEMMMMM

[@forrestburgin5]

Ok, so are "June bugs" the early version of the Secada that comes from the ground?

[@gabbygutierrez9377]

I wonder if Nova Scotia is getting a crazy amount of cicadas, as far as I know we don’t really get them in BC (I could be wrong but I’ve never seen them here). Maybe I could convince my grandparents to send over some specimens (they won’t but wishful thinking lol)

[@Inklett13]

I swear the cicadas here are so confused with the fluctuating temps here

[@970zfinest]

I'm from Colorado but go to STL all the time was just there from the 10th to 20th and was in Afton walked into a place not a Cicada in sight walked out after a few hours and they were EVERYWHERE crazy. I lived in Ohio for 10 years and seen them come out there, but they were green with yellow eyes the ones I had seen in STL was black with red eyes was cool to see the different species. I'm not sure if people in STL eat them but in Ohio people would trap them and grill and eat them it was like a delicacy there, I guess.

[@Dustysunlight]

Y’all she pinned that cicada alive… when she was posing it it snatched it’s wing back and the lower wing-set twitches as she picks up a pin. Otherwise super interesting video😅

[@tarantulakat]

I didn’t pin it in the video .. I said it was still twitching so I decided not :) but I did end up throwing it back outside and waiting for the ones I collected to die bc their wings and everything are in tact

[@Dustysunlight]

@@tarantulakat that’s a relief 😅 I miss understood because you said it before the clip of the bug on the pin board and it came after you said you’d pin a different one. 💗

[@groomer537]

found this interesting

[@2cool4foolez]

Amazing 😍❤😊

[@heartstronggarden5134]

💕✌🏼🪲 Saweet

[@reptiletailz108]

I don't think it's weird at all but unfortunately for u I am weird so I don't think that says to much of anything good hahahahah anyhow I personally think it's epic and when I get a perfect ish moult from my gbb I was so stoked and opened it up and put it in a small plastic Tupperware with clear plastic I've used the larger ones for arboreal spoods it's like a mini of the plastic cereal container but clear anyhow it's perfect and I've gotten pics of it with the carapace laying on top and it would absolutely trick anyone other than real keepers into thinking it was legit I brought the shed down to show a buddy of mine I told him it was a moult idk if he didn't understand or it just looked that real he thought I was fuckin with him trying to trick him into holding my tarantula but it was hilarious hahahah I just love how perfect they can look sometimes it's like freezing a moment in time as art
