Is this big enough to catch a cicada?

I think it would be a little tight to catch a cicada without risking harming the cicada. It is a very cool toy, though, and my kids really are enjoying it. So are all our little and not so little friends who come to play at our house. Hope this helps.

Does the light scare the bug away?

Not from my experience. I've loved this product because I'm scared of bugs. My grandson loves this product because he examines the bugs after catching them and then lets them go outdoors. The light doesn't seem to have any affect on the bug at all.

Does this help catch and release spiders form the house?

Catching them is easy. Releasing isn’t as easy. You open the hatch and kinda smack it out. I wish it had a way to reverse the fan and blow them out.

The Bug Vacuum is fine to be used out in the rain. You would want to avoid full submersion so that water is not getting into the area with the motor or on the handle of the gun where the batteries are.
