Not Safe for Anything: Don't Watch This Cicada Cam


Live video by Animal Planet L!ve

Oh, god, Science Channel! What are you doing to us?

As if a continental-scale INSECT INVASION was not enough.

As if the fact that the cicada invasion is a "frenzy of sex and death" was not enough.

As if widespread interest in eating these insects was not enough.

Now, the Science Channel has created a livestream of of a terrarium filled with cicadas crawling and sitting and flapping their wings and crawling some more.

Yick, ack, ugh! It is gross. But it is also impossible to stop watching. I warned you.

H/t Mashable
