They lay their eggs into the bark of the tree.
When the eggs hatch they fall to the ground and burrow down to between 1 and 8 feet under the earth..
They live as Nymphs from between 13 and 17 years underground..
They burrow up at an appointed time and swarm,
singing their song of freedom.
Their life span is about 6 weeks above ground.
Then it begins all over again.
The Cicada Blues.
