Do cicadas bite humans or pets?
No, you will not be bitten by a cicada nor will it seek you out and attack you, says Howard Russell, M.S., a board-certified entomologist at Michigan State University.
In fact, they can’t even bite you (or your pets) if they want to. “Their mouths have no mandibles—or jaws—and they have no physical characteristics like a stinger with which to defend themselves,” says Timothy Best, a board-certified entomologist and technical manager at Terminix. What they do have, though, is a drinking straw-like appendage coming from their mouths that they use to suck up sap—but that won’t hurt you.

They make awesome top water bait. And as any top water fisherman will tell you, you have to "Watch the Water"!
SWIDT? LOL
Top water fishing is the best kind of fishing!
I prefer to use a quarter-stick of DuPont 50/50 dynamite.
