Cicadas are also called cicada monkeys, and their larvae live in the soil all their lives. When they are about to emerge, they drill out of the ground at dusk and night, climb up the tree, and then grab the bark to shed their skin and emerge. At the end of June, the larvae began to climb out of the ground and emerged into adults. After dark, look for those small holes that resemble ant nests. If you poke them open, they will get bigger and you can dig them out. You can shine a flashlight on the tree around 9 o'clock. They all climbed the tree.
