Did the golden cicada disappear when it was squatting? When does it usually start and end?

Generally speaking, golden cicadas have been around since June, but the number is not very large. It reaches its peak in July and August and ends in late August and early September.

At the end of June, larvae began to emerge into adults, and the longest life span was about 60 ~ 70 days. Female adults began to lay eggs in late July, and the peak of laying eggs was in early and middle August. Most of the eggs were laid on branches with a thickness of 4 ~ 5 mm. When laying eggs, female adults first punctured the bark with an ovipositor, inserted the ovipositor into the branches to form claw-like egg holes, and then laid eggs in xylem.
