[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Now I feel dumb. I've always heard that cicadas only come around every 13 or 17 years or so. But is that actually true? Didn't they just emerge in DC 2 or 3 years ago? So if what's making the holes are cicadas does that mean they emerge more often? Beyond a wiki page, where can read a reliable summary? Thank you. [/quote] They live underground feeding on sap from roots for about 12 years for many species, then after 12 years they emerge, molt, fly and mate and die off. Just because their lifespan is 12 years doesn't mean they come in waves every 12 years. If there is an abundant crop hatched out, then in 12 years they will have a larger than normal season. "Boomers" Same as humans, and all species of life. [/quote]
