Summer is coming up and there will be a lot of cicada's where I am - can I feed them to my skink?

At their adult stage these insects provide little nutritional value, nothing but a hard shell. Past their larval stage (which can last up to 17 years) they do not eat, just breed and die off. I'm sure your lizard would enjoy chasing them but as far as nutritional value next to none.
