I & 4 yr old nephew removed this cicada from a spider web (web trashed, likely "Red Barn Spider" Neoscona crucifera). nephew cleaned wings in water of the swamp we were exploring; cicada took off, landed in water 2 feet away and was eaten by a bullfrog! But great observations/lessons for the little guy.
I use cicadas, which start to slow/down die off soon, as food for some herps in my collection. See article here, interested in your thoughts:
