Cicadas Don't Lay Eggs in Fruit

Oviposition Site

Periodical and annual cicadas insert eggs into pencil-sized twigs of deciduous trees, not into fruit. The nymphs drop to soil and feed on roots for years.

Fruit Pests Are Different

Codling moth, plum curculio, and apple maggot lay eggs in developing fruit. Their larvae hatch and feed inside, then exit before harvest. You rarely encounter live larvae in ripe fruit.

Food Safety

Even if you accidentally ate an insect egg or tiny larva, stomach acid would destroy it instantly. No health risk.
