About the Cicada
Cicadas are large insects best known for the loud buzzing song the males make in summer. Most kinds appear every year, but a few North American periodical cicadas are famous for staying underground as youngsters for 13 or 17 years before emerging all at once. When they do, they can fill the trees by the millions. This printable pairs well with a summer-sounds lesson about the noisiest insects.
- Periodical cicadas spend 13 or 17 years underground before emerging.
- There are more than 3,000 cicada species worldwide.
- Cicadas are related to leafhoppers and froghoppers.
