What are the life stages of a cicada?
(1) The Egg. They look like rice. (2) The Larvae. Once they hatch they look like a cross between wiggly rice and a termite. They suck on the branch they hatched on for a while, they fall to earth and begin digging in search of a root. (3) The Nymph. Once they’ve been sucking on the root for a while they become nymphs. Once the time is right, the nymph crawls to the surface, and crawls up the nearest tree. (4) the Adult. Once they crawl from the ground and anchor themselves to what they think is a tree (I’ve seen them on barbecues, stone wall and garden hoses) they molt, leaving their nymph skin behind. Their wings dry and they start looking for a mate. Once they mate, they die. Your dog eats the remains.
