cicadas

🤔 How it works ……..

*A CICADA*🪳 is about three inches long with bright red eyes. A cicada is noted for its thick, squat body and translucent wings. They stay under ground until they develop fully as adults.

They are famous for the unique buzzing sound they make. It’s actually the male cicadas who make the noise as a mating call.

The cicada life cycle has three stages: eggs, nymphs, and adults. Female cicadas can lay up to 400 eggs divided among dozens of sites—generally in twigs and branches. After six to 10 weeks, young cicada nymphs hatch from their eggs and dig themselves into the ground to suck the liquids of plant roots. They spend their entire developmental period in these underground about 17 years burrows before molting their shells and surfacing as adults to mate and lay eggs.

The time this takes depends on many factors, including local weather conditions. Cicadas can’t emerge as adults until the weather is warm enough for mating. Once conditions are right and they reach adulthood, the cicadas emerge from the ground and fly to the nearby trees. Adults have a short life, about 4 to 5 weeks only.

People in Burma, Malaysia, Pakistan, and parts of North America all have cicada recipes.
