how often would a 12 year cicada face its predator with a 2 year cycle?
Nile crocodiles, hyenas and lions are the predators for baby hippos
They don't. Insects lay eggs, the eggs hatch, and the baby insects are on their own.
A predator eats its prey. This includes predators of baby kangaroos, which eat the young joeys.
A chorus of cicadas.
a pride of lions will take a baby elephant
No, cicadas are not carnivorous. Both the larvae (nymphs) and adults feed on plant sap.
Grown flamingos do not have predators. What does have predators is the flamingos baby eggs. Other birds will try to get at them.

To think of cicadas as "deciding" something is anthropomorphizing; that is, using words that describe human attributions with things that don't really think as humans do. What probably happened is that those cicadas which happened to have a prime number cycle tended to avoid having predators match their periodic appearances and so increased relative to those that didn't, and as a consequence, got eaten. This is Natural Selection. Incidently, only Periodic cicadas have prime number cycles (17 or 13 years); there are also Annual cicadas which as their name implies, appear every year.
