Here's the idea, Bring sharpie markers. Catch as many Cicadas as you can and leave little messages on thier backs! Maybe you will be able to read a few as well!
Idunno... Aren't sharpies toxic? I don't need any sharpie-poisoned dead cicadas on my conscience. Unless you're planning on eating the ones you write on. Then I guess it's ok.
I wouldn't mind writing poems and quotes n stuff on the dead shells and leaving them in random places though. Maybe arrange them into patterns on the ground, or along the streets... It'd be like instant art...

DEAD? No ya want to do it while they are alive so the will take your message somewhere else. and yes, they are about an Inch and a half to two inches long.

I haven't looked at my sharpie b/c I don't plan on touching those creepy looking things in order to write on them since I'm very bugophobic but I definately think ya'll should be absolutely certain before you start writing on the cicadas w/ the sharpies that they are non-toxic. Maybe you should try using Crayola markers instead.
Just to put one point to rest, my Sharpies are labeled as Nontoxic, Conforms To ASTM D-4236, whatever that means. But still, nontoxic to us doesn't necessarily mean nontoxic to the cicadas.
