17-Year Sleeper
Friday, January 7th, 2011
They sleep for 17 years underground, come out one night in droves, shed their old skin then transform overnight and be noisy!!! They mate, the females lay eggs, and the next day they die, to fertilize the forest. That’s the life of the Cicada. And I was lucky to see and hear them buzzing in the summer of 2004, in Seoul, Korea. They will be back in 2021!!!
