Is it good or bad for cicadas to fly in at night?

There is nothing special about cicadas flying into the house, because cicadas have phototaxis, and we don't have to care too much about it flying into the house.

We can take the following measures to deal with it:

1. Open the door or window and drive it away with a fly swatter or broom until it flies out of the room.

2. Catch it with a net and send it back to nature.

3. Close the door and kill with pesticide.

4. Apply adhesive to one end of the stick, stick the cicada, and then send it back to nature.

Insects such as earthworms, grasshoppers, ants, bean worms and silkworm chrysalis are all high-protein foods. According to the nutritionist's determination, cicada contains as much as 72% protein, which is a natural nutrient.
