Did cicadas come out squatting? Excuse me, when will the monkey stop coming out?

Cicadas only appear after crouching, which is from the middle and late June (from summer to around) to the beginning of August (around the beginning of autumn), when there are many golden cicadas. At this time, it is customary to catch golden cicadas with electric lights at night.

Every night, adults and children will go to the Woods or orchards with hand lanterns to catch golden cicadas. Walking on the road, they will either see brightly lit villages or sparse lights in Woods and orchards.

Unearthed only for mating and breeding the next generation. Once mating is completed, the male cicada dies, and the female cicada dies when laying eggs in the soil, so they scream desperately, and then try to mate before the weather turns cold, thus completing their mission.

distribution range

Distributed in temperate and tropical regions, inhabiting deserts, grasslands and forests. In addition to the species of Lepidoptera, there are periodic cicadas, which appear in midsummer every year.

The most famous periodic cicadas are 17-year cicada and 13-year cicada, also called prime cicada. Because the life cycle is a prime number, it will not meet the natural enemies encountered by the previous generation.

Periodic cicadas appear at regular intervals in a certain area, and dozens to hundreds of dark brown cicada larvae emerge from the soil together, which is very spectacular. Some species are easy to distinguish in singing, behavior and morphology.
