Key to this post- symbolsanon has translated "cicadas" in symbolism as representing new people who are starting out with comms. Eating/cooking relating in some way to dominating or crushing someone who is a threat.
I had a brain blast tonight wondering about the constant references to eating/cooking cicadas in the news recently. Supposedly swarms of cicadas have been spotted by radar near D.C., emerging after 17 years.
The news says not to panic over the cicadas- don't call authorities!
The cicadas are coming out mostly at dusk to try to avoid everything that wants to eat them
Midnight riders.

"Swarms of red-eyed bugs"
This has to refer to us. More and more everyday people starting to piece together the comms system, to the point that the signal had to go out to warn about us and reassure the clowns that we're "easy to cook" (easy to break) and not a threat.
I like what you're laying down and appreciate the effort and outside the box thinking. I've got nothing to add, except that I feel like cicadas, being so strange, lend themselves to both comms usage as well as typical "slow news day" nonsense. Sorry I can't contribute more but did want to leave a comment so you know your effort is appreciated. WWG1WGA.
Thank you. Sometimes it does feel like yelling into the void when a thread doesn't take off. I know somebody read it.
