Collecting cicada shells

[DThewanderer]

This week the kids and I have spent some time collecting cicada shells. It has been a lot of fun and a good learning experience. Do you collect them with your kids?

No. I collect live ones. They make great fish bait.

I should have thought of that. Yesterday my son thought he found a dead cicada and it was alive. He had knocked it on its back and it was wiggling its feet. I picked him up and put him on a tree, never thought of fishing with him.
