Why The Cicada Sings Seventeen years Under ground The cicada waits Without making a sound. Then one summer morning With no one in sight The cicada emerges Into the light. No wonder she sings All evening long. For seventeen years She held back her song. ©Debra and Charles Ghigna

This guy is just 5 minutes old. I released him when his neon green wings and disco gold body hardened, turning to a dark brown and bronze-green. The cicadas are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera. They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha, along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers
