See the [Cicada Picture Gallery]. Also more information on Cicadids ...

The female cicada, laying from 400 to 600 eggs has a dagger-like ovipositor with which she makes a series of slits on the underside of tender twigs -- usually on an oak, a wild crab, or an apple tree. In each slit she lays from 12 to 20 eggs. In 6 or 7 weeks these hatch into ant-like nymphs which drop to the ground and burrow until each finds a tree rootlet -- anywhere from 1 to 10 feet down. There it remains for 13 to 17 years, sucking juice, until full- grown.
