  1. Maybe you keep waking it up when you pick the jar up.


  2. There's a lot of things we don't know about cicadas...they haven't been researched a whole lot....

    But I'm pretty sure they do NOT sleep. And I know they don't eat. They only live above ground for a couple months, so they've evolved to spend their whole time mating. Again, I'm not completely SURE they don't sleep, but since they don't eat, I'd be surprised if they slept.

    Lots of bugs "play dead". Maybe that's why it was on its back. That's interesting....
