That’s false. It’s an urban legend. Although rare and cool no one has placed a bounty on their teeny heads.

This was false and an urban legend until in 2008 when Roy Troutman began to offer rewards for blue-eyed cicadas for scientific research. Roy is no longer offering the reward as he has obtained the cicadas needed for his research.
