Whether cicadas are beneficial or pests.

Cicadas in the adult stage can fly, and they can only live for one or two months, and almost all cicadas have a short lifespan in the adult stage, which seems to be their fate. And the most important thing for them in the month or two is mating.

Usually the cicadas call at night are male cicadas, while female cicadas are mated by male cicadas after hearing the call, and they will insert a thin oviposition tube into a branch to lay eggs, and the larvae will hatch the next year.

The life of a cicada goes through three stages, the first stage is the cicada egg, the second stage is the nymph, and the third stage is the adult. Cicada eggs in the first stage will choose to hatch on the tree, and after hatching larvae, the larvae will fall into the soil and live in the soil for a long time. The second stage, the nymph stage, usually at the end of the nymph stage, the cicada will crawl out of the soil, but it only comes out at night to be active, and then they will shed their shells on the tree and enter the adult stage.

The lifespan of a cicada that enters the adult stage is only one or two months, but it can stay in the soil for a period of time, usually for a year or three or five years. They are all prime-numbered years to stay in the dirt in order to avoid predators.
