Sure there would be no confusing the two. The cicada will be brownish
and visible legs easily seen, where the grub you saw probably was
laying in the shape of a "C".

Probably the Grub then, but there appeared to be legs or lines that
might develop into them along the inside of the 'C'(lots of them), more
like a 'shrimp' looking thing in that sense.

Grubs are insects, and will have three pairs of legs at one end. They are tiny
and undeveloped.
