States.  One kind spends 17 years as a nymph feeding on tree roots while living below ground, and the other  lives underground for 13 years! Then each type, as if on some signal, emerges at the same time
from the ground. They change into adults, lay eggs, and after a few weeks, they die. We don't see the next
generation until 13 or 17 years later!

insect world.  By vibrating the ribbed plates in a pair of amplifying cavities at the base of the
abdomen, the mating sound of the cicada can be heard as far as 440 yards!  These insect noisemakers rarely
ever stop calling for a mate. The noise from large groups of cicadas can often drown out even the noisiest
lawnmower.</blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada2b.html" href="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada2b.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada2b.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/img/E5D9A9DF-F0D8-43AB-B00D-C2F2134A25C1" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="border-bottom: solid 1px #dcdcdc; white-space: nowrap; margin-bottom: 8px; background-color: #eeeeee ;background-image: url(http://clipmarks.com/images/source-bg.gif); background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 24px; line-height: 24px; vertical-align: middle; padding-bottom: 4px; color: #666666; font-size: 10px;" ><a href="http://clipmarks.com/clip-to-blog/" title="see clips that are hot right now"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/clip-icon.gif" alt="" width="19" height="19" border="0" style="vertical-align: middle; margin: 0px 4px; display: inline; border: none; float:none;" /></a>clipped from <a title="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada.html" href="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada.html" style="font-size: 11px;">www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us</a></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/img/A3B6A401-CFD6-4CD7-8C21-DEB13335310C" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/img/9E233609-8E67-4741-9F12-1D60AA86E646" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/img/284FEACF-061E-46D0-8E60-AD97A9E301D9" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/4th/KKhp/1insects/cicada.html"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.ivyhall.district96.k12.il.us/img/8B1A245F-DBF6-40D8-96C8-A80A890FB56D" alt="" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/92CAB3C1-DD06-4D6C-B5BB-313CC4D1F890/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
