Here's how a cicada spends its life:

The cicada transforms from a nymph into an adult in June to July each year and then lays its eggs in just a few days, starting from the eggs and continuing with the process of living as a wakaba in the ground until the final shedding of its shell to become an adult, which is a period of time that usually lasts for one to two years in the trees.

In the cicadas, their larvae are also known as "wakame", and their male cicadas make sounds to attract female cicadas to mate with him, and he lays eggs in the tree with his pointed ovipositor tube, which is inserted into the tree, and the larvae do not hatch until the next year, and then live in the soil for a few years or even more than a decade before they can break out of the soil, during their long life. In their long life, they have to go through many times of shelling,

The last shelling is also the time when it becomes an adult, and when it becomes an adult, it will make a sound, and the sound made by male cicadas is to vibrate the two bulbous membranes on their abdomen at a high frequency of hundreds of times a second, to make a sharp and loud sound. This sound helps the female cicada to locate a suitable male cicada for mating.

Habitat of the Cicada

The cicada is found in temperate and tropical regions, in deserts, grasslands and forests. In addition to the species of the genus Moth Cicada, which appears in midsummer every year, there are also periodic cicadas. The best known are the seventeen-year and thirteen-year cicadas, also known as prime number cicadas, which do not encounter the same predators they encountered in the previous generation because their life cycle is a prime number.

Periodic cicadas occur in large numbers at regular intervals in certain areas, when dozens to hundreds of dark-brown cicada larvae burrow out of the earth and feather together in a spectacular display. Some species are easier to identify by their song, behavior, and morphology.
