Cicada larvae can live underground for more than ten years at the longest, but their life span is not long after they become adults, and the longest life span is about 60 ~ 70 days.

Knowing that cicadas are cold and fragrant, they have the functions of dispelling wind and spreading lung, relieving fever and relieving shock. Cicada is nutritious and delicious, and has become a fashionable delicacy. It can be fried before the larvae become cicadas, or it can be pickled with edible salt and then fried.

Extended data:

Cicada generally refers to cicada. Several cicadas were found in North America, and 13 or 17 only appeared once. Cicadas in 13 are mainly distributed in the southern United States, and cicadas in 17 are mainly distributed in the northeastern United States. These cicadas appear in strict time, that is to say, the larvae live in the soil strictly 12 or 16.

This male cicada can sing. Its vocal organ is located in the abdominal muscles, and it is covered with an eardrum like a drum. The eardrum vibrates and makes a sound. Because the vocal cord muscles can expand and contract about 65,438+0,000 times per second, and the cover plate and tympanic membrane are empty, which can play a role of * * *, so its singing is particularly loud.
