Haha, well Cicadas a quite ugly little insects they are so I don't know why you would want to hold one buy I'll help. A little rumor has been going on the Cicadas sting you when picked up: This is NOT true. The point at the end of it's abdomen helps it make the music it's very well known for. However it will buzz very loudly in order to make itself sound scary. To pick one up, simply lightly grab it by the sides. If you are too nervous to pick it up, DO NOT PICK IT UP BY THE WINGS.
