A cicada's body consists of three main parts: head, thorax, and abdomen. The head contains its compound eyes, antennae, and mouthparts. The thorax is where the legs and wings are attached, allowing the cicada to move and fly. The abdomen is where the digestive and reproductive organs are located.

Yes, cicadas are heterotrophic organisms, meaning they rely on consuming organic matter for energy. They feed on plant sap using their specialized mouthparts.
The control of plant growth is a reason why auxins are in weed killers. The hormone in question makes plants grow at the appropriate rate within the proper timespan. Weed killers try to alter, slow down or speed up growth to the detriment of the undesirable, unfamiliar vegetation in question.
Cicada killers are active during the day and typically do not come out at night.
There are not any true natural enemies of cicada killers. Cicada killers have a very powerful sting that most birds and other animals can't handle.
Africa, America (Caribbean, Central, North), Asia, Australia, and Europe are where cicada killers are located. The insects in question (Sphecius spp) share cicada-killing and ground-dwelling with their equivalents in South America, Liogorytes spp.
Yes, cicada killers can sting people, but as solitary wasps they will only do so if seriously aggravated. Their stings are slight, and rare, but do happen. See link below, for Wikipedia section on Cicada killers' interactions with humans.
Cicada killers look like oversized yellow jackets they burrow in the ground and lay there eggs inside of the cicada
Cicada killers are cold-blooded insects. These are actually solitary wasps that are large and solitary. They are sometimes called sand hornets.
WATER! Drowning the soil will deter cicada killers. If you see them entering their hole/ burrow, pour boiling water down into it to kill any in the burrow as well as kill the larvae awaiting next spring.Important to note that only females can sting( rarely do, they prefer to save their venom for cicada's) and also are the hunters; you might see them carrying a paralyzed cicada down into their burrow/hole. The males do not have a stinger- it is their sexual organ that extends from them, not a stinger.Most people refer to them as harmless, but scary looking, and annoying.
It's tough since they live in the ground but below article has some good suggestions. If it is a smaller area and dry, I would dust the ground, cover with clear plastic, secure the edges and when they emerge and try to escape they will contact the dust which should reduce the adults. this method will also give you a better idea of the actual population you are dealing with.

The ears of a cicada are located next to the tymbals. Cicadas have a special muscle that folds the ears to protect the organs from the high levels of sound that are emitted when the critters are singing.
