DON'T PANIC!
RELAX!
THEY ARE HARMLESS!
Cicadas have no biting or stinging defense mechanism. They also are not poisonous, therefore they are considered HARMLESS to people and animals.
Cicadas inflict minor damage ONLY to trees in the EGGLAYING PROCESS.

Are Cicadas Poisonous

Cicadas do not bite or sting and are benign to humans and are not considered a pest.

Not to humans. They don't bite nor are they poisonous (just ugly).
But they are dangerous if too many of them eat whole fields of crops across vast areas of land, because that might be the start of a famine.

Not to humans.
They make a good stir fry. And I like the sound they make too. Reminds me of being a kid in the summer.
