These fascinating creatures have a unique look with their large, transparent wings and wideset eyes that come in a variety of colors. They are famous for the loud, distinctive songs they sing during the summer months. And did you know, cicadas can be found all over the world, from the Americas to Asia and Africa?  \nNow that we've been introduced to these musical critters, let's explore what they munch on. Unlike some bugs, cicadas aren't the creepy, crawly type that invade your picnic, they prefer to sip on the sap from trees and plants. Using their beak-like mouthparts, they drill into tree trunks and roots to reach their favorite meal. So, no need to squirm, cicadas won't be interested in your sandwich!  \nSpeaking of eating, can you guess which animals might enjoy a cicada snack? Many animals, including birds, spiders, and even other insects, see cicadas as a tasty treat. But don't worry, these clever insects have a trick up their sleeve-they play dead to avoid becoming a meal! And when that doesn't work, their sheer numbers often overwhelm predators, ensuring that many of them survive to sing another day.  \nLastly, let's chat about the amazing life cycle of cicadas. After hatching from eggs, baby cicadas, called nymphs, burrow underground where they can live for many years, some species for as long as 17 years! When they finally emerge, they shed their skin, leaving behind an empty shell, and start their adult life.
