To keep cicadas away from you, you can try using insect repellent, wearing light-colored clothing, avoiding strong scents, and staying indoors during peak cicada activity times.
Natural repellents such as garlic, peppermint oil, and neem oil can be used to deter cicadas from infesting an area. These scents are known to be unpleasant to cicadas and can help keep them away.

Well, honey, cicadas and sea urchins both have support systems, but they're as different as night and day. Cicadas rely on their exoskeleton for structure and protection, while sea urchins have an endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate plates. So, in a nutshell, cicadas wear their support on the outside, while sea urchins keep it all on the inside.
No, cicadas are not carnivorous. Both the larvae (nymphs) and adults feed on plant sap.
Cicadas are able to survive heavy rain and thunderstorms as they are equipped with special adaptations that allow them to cling onto surfaces and survive in wet conditions. While some may be washed away or submerged briefly, most cicadas will be able to hold on until the storm subsides.

To take care of cicadas, you must first make a bionome; a bionome is a place (like a cage) where you will keep them. The bionome needs to include tree and tree root sap, air holes in the lid, because cicadas DO fly, water (yes they drink water), and grass, flowers prety much any thing that you find them in.
That depends on how much you care about the cicadas
