Cicadas
Cicadas are a type of insect that is known for its loud, buzzing sound. Cicadas are found all over the world, but they are most common in warm climates. Cicadas live in trees and feed on the sap of leaves. Cicadas have a long life cycle that can last up to 17 years. During the majority of their life cycle, cicadas live underground as nymphs. Nymphs feed on the roots of trees. When cicadas are ready to emerge from the ground, they climb up trees and molt their skin. Adult cicadas have wings and are able to fly. Cicadas mate and lay eggs in the bark of trees. The eggs hatch into nymphs, and the life cycle begins again.
