RE: Last song of the Cicada!
You are viewing a single comment's thread:
Learn something new every day, did not know the females buried the eggs into tree trunk. Was aware they grow underground, how unusual to find the little ones must find a source of food once plummeting to the ground.
Noisey yet beautiful is the cicada, seldom see them so this was a bit of luck today.
Yes if males died after mating, well we won't go down that rabbit hole right now will we 😃

And the amazing thing is that the female carries a saw around with her to cut into the bark of the tree for the eggs.
I find many similarities between them and the dragonflies, as they also spend most of their lives as nymphs, only in the water and not in the ground like the cicadas.
I have a few of them in my files and also a green one somewhere.
Hahaha, that last question is certainly a trickey one 🤣
Blessings!
Tells the story some really have killer design to compete in the natural world.
Definitely no time to debate last question, so will politely refer back to the beautiful table cloth flowing over the mountain, awesome watching dramatic changes!
