some say cicadas don't bite, and i say that's like saying mosquitoes don't bite.
although cicadas don't "bite", they "may try to pierce or suck you"....as they do have piercing and sucking mouth parts like mosquitoes.
For more information on cicada's, please see the experts on our little green friend at:
Although have not been bitten by one, i have heard it is extremely painful, and there is a great deal of bacteria on them. I say since it is a mouth part, and mosquitoes have the same mouth part... lets call an ace an ace ans say yes they can "bite"... which is a painful sucking.....
