When they are mature, they climb out of the ground and complete one final molt. They emerge as an adult cicada with wings, and fly away to find a mate. Once they become an adult they stop growing and do not molt again. Some of the species that take 13 or 17 years all come out of the ground at one time.
What do cicadas eat? Periodical cicada nymphs suckle on tree roots during their 13 or 17 years underground. Once they emerge, the adults can also tap into the tree to suck down its fluid, says naturalist John Zyla.

If you capture a cicada, giving the creature a broken branch to suck on probably won't nourish it. You best bet is to take a picture or some video and then release it.
