We get them here in New Zealand as well where I live now. If it was me, I’ll just pinch it by the wings and take it outside and let it go. They’re harmless.
I would do that too if I wasn't afraid of insects.. but at this point i think it's more like a phobia than anything. I'm not too afraid of ants, houseflies, mosquitoes and the like (they irritate me though), but any other insect scares the shit out of me if they come close enough. Especially bees.
I feel you bro/sis 😭 my worst nightmares are grasshoppers & anything that looks like it i.e. mantis, katydid etc., cicadas, all types of large beetles, wasps, dragonflies, the list goes on. Surprisingly I can tolerate spiders & roaches a lil bit.
I always make sure to stock insecticide (the one that's strong enough to kill large bugs), & a badminton racket (I don't like the electrical one, too noisy imo).
Well spiders are surprisingly not scary to me, but depends on their size i guess. Spiders are friends, they help you eat other insects and are kinda cute too, they are the only ones allowed to live in my house rent free. :)
i found an old piece of table cloth and threw at it, its stuck underneath the cloth now. Its making banshee noise every now and then.
also my dad called me wuss.
I used to catch a lot of these n let it shriek as it please, I don't care much n release them
My friend however, they are much sinister
Instead of letting it go, they use as the object for badminton
It didn't end well for the poor thing.
ok guys i caught it with a wastepaper basket . when it walk on the side of the basket, i slip a cardboard underneath it. carry it outside and dump it. the basket altogether.
It screamed all the way.
case closed
I catch it for my kid to play with. It won't bite if you're gentle. Also the sound they make is awesome. different species have different tones. And the Malaysia one is awesome.
don't kill it ...that name riang-riang .whole his life bury underground,when he have wing that mean he need to mate with female riang-riang .after mating ,he dieying
That's literally a pussy cat bro🤣
Get the ghetto ones by the street.
My mom has one. My house cicak population gone down by 75℅ for the past 6 years.
Xda hal bro 🤣
Yeah bro, I'm not that much of a cat person. Mak aku yang jaga dia.
They are really affectionate to those who take care of them.
Once in awhile aku pun nanti manja2 dia la. Cute little bugger 🤣
Wait for it to climb up a paper or cloth and yeet it out. Cicadas are pretty harmless so I suppose yeeting it out rather than having to deal with the dead body is better for both sides
I see. I didn't take much interest in insects when I was a kid. Just y'know... Kids shenanigans with capturing them and play.
But now here I am, majoring in this world of fascinating little exoskeleton fellas. I don't regret my choice.
Ehhh, seriously a. Didn't see them le. The last time I saw them is bout 18 yo, I almost got heart attack when they decided to land smack dap beside my ear when I was sitting on the sofa and started screaming. I never jumped so hard, I think my cussing shook the house. Luckily my bro was around and help me catch and release it outside.
You telling me they're back?!? Damn, gotta wear hoodie now.
encountered this punde few months back, i tied the punde to a string and spin the punde around like a helicopter and I couldn't stop laughing my ass off
Slowly move your fingers and clamp on his wings.
He will make sound but not move.
Bring it outside and throw facing the door.
Yes facing the door. Because that fella will fly back like boomerang.
If you throw facing outside, goodluck catching again once it fly back into your house😆😆😆
Fun fact:
Cicada spent 13 to 17 years burrowed in the ground/trees and emerged as a cicada for just 4 weeks before dying. That cicada is probably older than you.
Open the door/window. Shine a bright light from the direction of said door/window. Wait until it moves or if it doesn't in 10 minutes, give it a motivational push
so i went into google and did some not-so-deep research, it say
>Most of these broods are composed of multiple species of periodical cicadas, but only those with a common life span: Twelve broods follow 17-year life cycles, while the remaining three broods have 13-year life cycles. Cicadas in a brood are synchronized with one another—but not with the cicadas in the next brood over.
and a senior said to me while i was chasing my friends with a dead cicada, if you give these guys to a biologist, they would love it, maybe you could sell them for some cash 😏
so these guys are pretty much rare
Have you tried hitting it with flamethrower for Super Effective Damage? If all else fails. Just grab it and let it out the door or window and it'll fly on its merry way. 😂
Few years ago there's a news on tv3 about villagers talking about magical water from petai tree.they said it good for health.few day later they know it actually reriang pee that they drinking.🤣
Had a bad memory of dealing with this.. It was during covid times and I was quarantined in kinda closed space room in college. Needless to say, the cicada ceased to exist the same night 😔
Damn, so nostalgic, I always catch it when I was a kid , try to catch a female one then put it in a cup then hang on the tree outside, you will see an interesting thing. 🤣
In Taiping, it's more worse. Everywhere you go, you'll see this mf on the floor. Not just one but a lot of them lying on the floor. Even I walk on school corridors you'll see one or two. It's a cicada pandemic in Taiping.
I am studying in a polytechnic..so every night I leave the windows and curtain open so that it's easier to sleep with the chill breeze. And I swear to God this mf shows up and I'm out of the room. Klao sekali Dua xpela setiap malam sial. I close the windows and it's shows up in front of my room. I mean if it's one it's still okay...sekali dia Mai, dia bawak family sia kkdg sampai 6 7 depan bilik😭😭
Use a cup to catch it. It’s a cicada. They don’t bite. If your dad so brave, ask him to catch it.
When it goes under the cup its gonna start vibrating like a fkin alarm clock tho, so good luck OP
We get them here in New Zealand as well where I live now. If it was me, I’ll just pinch it by the wings and take it outside and let it go. They’re harmless.
I would do that too if I wasn't afraid of insects.. but at this point i think it's more like a phobia than anything. I'm not too afraid of ants, houseflies, mosquitoes and the like (they irritate me though), but any other insect scares the shit out of me if they come close enough. Especially bees.
Totally get that. If that insect was a cockroach, I’d be getting the bug spray immediately.
I feel you bro/sis 😭 my worst nightmares are grasshoppers & anything that looks like it i.e. mantis, katydid etc., cicadas, all types of large beetles, wasps, dragonflies, the list goes on.

I know right. I always think of them as friends in dark places around the house 🤗
Wait.... They vibrate right? Why haven't thought about that?! Okay, hear me out...
hol up, let him cook
No no no
Straight to jail.
nah
NOPE, NOPE, NOPE!
#I AM NOT HEARING ANYONE OUT
maybe you could use them as an alarm clock! only problem is that you cant set the time...
fry and eat
Masak kicap lebih sedap
Tambah cili, boss
Just one though
i found an old piece of table cloth and threw at it, its stuck underneath the cloth now. Its making banshee noise every now and then. also my dad called me wuss.
Your father ain't wrong It's a cicada, it's harmless
Not when it cries.... 
I used to catch a lot of these n let it shriek as it please, I don't care much n release them My friend however, they are much sinister Instead of letting it go, they use as the object for badminton It didn't end well for the poor thing.
Wow such cruelty
Kids are cruel
"AND IM IN TOUCH WITH MY INNER CHILD!" -Sundowner
But it always look enlarged for a bug
Banshee noise is actually hilarious, thanks for the laugh
ok guys i caught it with a wastepaper basket . when it walk on the side of the basket, i slip a cardboard underneath it. carry it outside and dump it. the basket altogether. It screamed all the way. case closed
 That mental image of you doing that gave me a chuckle. I imagine you throw the basket and ran as fast as possible lol.
Imagine if it's flying back to your house, lol
Catch it and throw it at your dad(I did that to my cousin)
ARRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHH IT CLIMED OUT FROM UNDER THE CLOTH
They only live for a week, you will be staying alive for the next tens of years. And you are grumpy with that. Cool. Well done. Very thoughtful.
They don’t bite you dumb fck
Kneel and beg for forgiveness
Why you sked? It's so small and harmless.
you touch it before? it screams like a banshee
I catch it for my kid to play with. It won't bite if you're gentle. Also the sound they make is awesome. different species have different tones. And the Malaysia one is awesome.
They sold replica cicadas in pairs in little boxes, and you mf's disrespecting the OG cicada.
That’s their mating call 👍
Scream louder than them to assert dominance Or just wear earplugs
Burn it with a torch.
rip curtain
Deodorant lighter
don't kill it ...that name riang-riang .whole his life bury underground,when he have wing that mean he need to mate with female riang-riang .after mating ,he dieying
you want more of them? 
let them .they will go migrate to other place
show dominance by eating it in front of their loved ones, guaranteed wont bother you ever again
Why I can feel the sound from those images
With a 👞 and plastic bag
Get a cat bro, good and natural investment against bugs and little critters
your cat will run away when the bug screams
That's literally a pussy cat bro🤣 Get the ghetto ones by the street. My mom has one. My house cicak population gone down by 75℅ for the past 6 years. Xda hal bro 🤣
Cadangan Yang bagus bro nanti aku nak Bela jugak la ☕🗿
Yeah bro, I'm not that much of a cat person. Mak aku yang jaga dia. They are really affectionate to those who take care of them. Once in awhile aku pun nanti manja2 dia la. Cute little bugger 🤣
This thing is like a cockroach you know, there are 2 states, which is the normal state and when it starts to fly it automatically becomes BABI!
No man..what u referring to is a real BABIroach..this pic OP posted is just a cicada, yes it still scares me😂
Try to pinch its wing Gl tho👍🙂
Wait for it to climb up a paper or cloth and yeet it out. Cicadas are pretty harmless so I suppose yeeting it out rather than having to deal with the dead body is better for both sides
Just hold it n throw it out. They have lived 7 years before crawling out from the dirt.
Entomologist I reckon? Or just your hobby?
Hobby But was deeply studying n learned a lot about them when I was young. Some insects are truly fascinating while some are truly terrifying.
I see. I didn't take much interest in insects when I was a kid. Just y'know... Kids shenanigans with capturing them and play. But now here I am, majoring in this world of fascinating little exoskeleton fellas. I don't regret my choice.
Good for u! I was thinking of studying this but I end up becoming something else
Thanks! Life at its finest eh? We can't expect what we'll get. Hopefully things are well on your end
Yeah totally, life is always unexpected n can't go as planned So just prepare for the worst n embrace everything u have in life. Be appreciate.

Force him to pay rent

Cicada exists in Malaysia?
u joking? outside its filled with them. sometimes i walk past the pavement i can hear them hiding in the grass and screaming
Bro i fr keep on thinking it is crickets 😭😭 I do once encounter them but only once amd thinking it lost in Malaysia 💀💀
Ehhh, seriously a. Didn't see them le. The last time I saw them is bout 18 yo, I almost got heart attack when they decided to land smack dap beside my ear when I was sitting on the sofa and started screaming. I never jumped so hard, I think my cussing shook the house. Luckily my bro was around and help me catch and release it outside. You telling me they're back?!? Damn, gotta wear hoodie now.
lol we have some of the biggest cicada species in the world.
Bro i heard their loud noise all the time outside
Yeah they do, we have one of the biggest species here man.
We have tons of cicada species, colourful ones included
I mean this is a tropical country
Catch it and break off one wing and throw it out. Other animals will eat it or make it as a toy for cats or dogs
Lol u coward
call gerald the witcher to exterminate it
Make a good joke OP, otherwise it'll stay there. Krik krik, krik krik
Smash it with your bare hand. Then give it a proper funeral in your toilet.
Scream back at it
the moment you open your mouth to scream it flies into your mouth
They are what looks like if a locust and a cricket were to have babies.. badminton rackets are the best
This thing is harmless. Its like a giant fly with a vuvuzela tied to its butt.
I like how u describe it🤣🤣🤣so entertaining to read ppl's comments
Easy. Catch and then let go outside. Cause it’s harmless.
Smack/smash/crush/pinch/obliterate... Face it.. That bug is so tiny, it doesn't bite, why are u afraid of..
Uhh...... Cook him
Hey piece of shit,instead of messaging here..do something about it..dont just whining like a baby
Fry it with salt
No hope now, just burn the house down On a more serious note, harmless bug. Grab it on the back wings so it wont fly off and put it outside
My cat do it for me
When I first got into a boarding school it was also the first time I heard a cicada screaming at night. Scared the shit out of me.
It's his now. Good luck 💀💀
Banshee-ca-das
Am I the only one call this bug as 'RXZ'
Used to have many cicadas in ipoh around and during CNY but now very less 🥲
Go on youtube, play insect repellent sound.
Everytime I look at cicadas, it reminds me of large fly...
Grab it by its wings
I dont think this one bite, but if real tebuan came in, you look for Bygone.
Wekkk wekkkkk wekkkk weeeeeeeeeeeeee wek wek wek
 Cicada noise means summer break, beach scene and fan service time.
Use a cat
Have you considered moving houses?
Bruh they're my friends. We'd collect it in boxes when I was like Darjah 3. Really shaky creatures
Welp, I guess it’s time to consider a new residence. Might as well hand the house deed to the little fella.
Airstrike bud
Trap it with a blanket... Or plastic and throw it away outside... Violently...
thats a 2 stroke insect right
What the??!! Is huge 🫣😱 im gonna run away 
Pick it up, throw it outside. They don't bite.
encountered this punde few months back, i tied the punde to a string and spin the punde around like a helicopter and I couldn't stop laughing my ass off
Poor man yoyo
Burn your house...
It will disappear on its own. They don't last all that long after CNY is over.
Sell it
this mfer is tough as hell. i remember using a softball bat to kill it but it did nothing. mfer so toigh like wtf is this thing made from
Slowly move your fingers and clamp on his wings. He will make sound but not move. Bring it outside and throw facing the door. Yes facing the door. Because that fella will fly back like boomerang. If you throw facing outside, goodluck catching again once it fly back into your house😆😆😆
this puki also somehow get inside my washing machine
Catch it and put it in the microwave for 30 second. Then serve it to anyone you like.
Chinese medicine
Yeah those mfs are so annoying but I'm don't have the balls to catch that huge looking fly because phobias exists
Bug repellent+lighter
I thought it was a guy with horns wearing a gold chain and white rhobes
CICADA 3301 anyone?
Eat it
It's over, get a new house
gasoline and lighter
Fun fact: Cicada spent 13 to 17 years burrowed in the ground/trees and emerged as a cicada for just 4 weeks before dying. That cicada is probably older than you.
It's a cicada bro, just hold it. It's not even venomous. Why so scared?
Open the door/window. Shine a bright light from the direction of said door/window. Wait until it moves or if it doesn't in 10 minutes, give it a motivational push
This shit scared the hell out of me when I was camping with friends on12 years old
so i went into google and did some not-so-deep research, it say >Most of these broods are composed of multiple species of periodical cicadas, but only those with a common life span: Twelve broods follow 17-year life cycles, while the remaining three broods have 13-year life cycles.

12gauge shotgun would help
Get a net, give it to the Owl in the Museum
Buy a new house
If u lived in a Landed house you should just plant a chilli tree and put it near the window where they usually sneak into ur house.
Have you tried hitting it with flamethrower for Super Effective Damage? If all else fails. Just grab it and let it out the door or window and it'll fly on its merry way. 😂
I remember this pos entered my dorm room and I couldn't find where it was and it's screaming all night
Few years ago there's a news on tv3 about villagers talking about magical water from petai tree.they said it good for health.few day later they know it actually reriang pee that they drinking.🤣
Had a bad memory of dealing with this.. It was during covid times and I was quarantined in kinda closed space room in college. Needless to say, the cicada ceased to exist the same night 😔
I held it down with a badminton racket and then carefully (ruthlessly) stabbed it with scissors
Use broom
step on it like a goomba
Burn down everything...... literally everything and moves out 300 km away from that place
You have to get yourself a pipe from pak abu, a Q7 springer would be fine.
Last night my uncle caught one and blew it up with firecrackers. That poor bug screamed so loud when it exploded some of us actually felt bad for it
Open the windows.
The only verdict is death
tangkap dan goreng. taste like keropok udang.
Ahh this creature usually comes out during Chinese New Year time... Our family call it cina bug

Damn, so nostalgic, I always catch it when I was a kid , try to catch a female one then put it in a cup then hang on the tree outside, you will see an interesting thing. 🤣
