Wish I could live underground for 17 years, come out, scream, fuck then die

oh my god this is disgusting

It’s wild to think there are literally billions of them right under our feet just waiting for their moment. Nature’s internal clock is incredible and slightly terrifying at the same time!

Since the cycle is 17 years many cicada egg cannot emerge because the ground is already covered by concrete and asphalt

The cicadas in question

17 years wait just to be eat by Chinese

17 years is pretty long for a bug 💯

// what do cicadas even DO also i think i still have the cicada shell from the last time they emerged from like... 8 years ago??

The fact that they do this for no fucking reason

Oh but you forgot the worst part; the parasites that turn some into actual zombies. :D.

wow they have long life span

Dr.gero was ahead of the game

“Nature really said: uninstalling old firmware…”

The Chud bug

17 years in below ground rising segg and die

Ohh terrible because cicada actually hit my camera

kill them all their useless. who's their predator?

Also as a note we had lot of this thing in my country and they mostly come out when is very hot like over 40 Celsius and do it almost every year, so don't imagine it just happen every 17 years.

So what’s their actual purpose?

Wait till the tiny babies drops on your skin 😬

They're also really loud

Life is nothing but a cycle

Cicada’s lay that many eggs… AND YET IT’S STILL A CHORE TO JUST FIND ONE!!

Social insects

Bro just triggered my trypophobia

So good for other animals? What’s their general purpose?
