What is the life cycle of a cicada?
A cicada's life cycle depends on the species, but most species have a life cycle that lasts between 2-5 years. Most species of cicadas spend the first year or two of their lives underground as nymphs, feeding on the roots of plants. When they are ready to mate, they emerge from the ground as adults. Adults live for around 4-6 weeks, during which time they mate and lay eggs. Once eggs are laid, adults die, and their life cycle starts anew.
