Got 270 cicada this morning in one hour.

Alan will be saying the same next year, or in 17years, at the rate he's going :lol:

Surprisingly my blue tongues go nuts for moths.

1 pick a location loaded with them

2 only take from a percentage of the trees

3 only take for a few days of the short season

Keep them coming

Do you freeze them?

Yes. I have never been able to keep them alive more than a few hours. Beardies love them.

so do my axolotl (I feed them with big feeding tweezers) and my little brown frogs (also feed with tweezers - they open their mouth, grab the moths with both 'hands' and shove them in)

cicada bandit at work, if you have seen this man report him immediately :rolfl:

It is worse than that, I do it the easy way. Early in the morning while still dark using a torch and grab them as they emerge and before they climb the tree. I have been waiting for Mr Plod and his "allo allo allo what have we hear."
