Cicadas don't really eat much in their adult stage, they come out to mostly mate. When they are grubs the cicada does eat roots of some plants, but not nearly at the same levels as other more destructive grubs. The adults can do some minor damage to plants and trees when they lay their eggs, but it is very minor.
