THE CICADAS ARE COMING!

From the creator

Cicadas have developed an amazing strategy for growth, survival, reproduction, and overcoming predation by...doing nothing. They do nothing for years (except sip at the juice excreted from root structures) before emerging in huge, simultaneous swarms. The swarm is so huge that predators can't consume even a fraction of it, but so rare that predator populations can't sustain themselves between emergence events. Clever little things!
