Cicadas are in the order Homoptera, most closely related to plant lice and leafhoppers.
Cicadas lay eggs in slits in twigs; annual species hatch and mature on their host trees
and sing loudly during hot summer days. Periodical cicadas drop to the ground after
hatching and spend anywhere from a few to 17 years as nymphs feeding on tree roots
underground before maturing to adults. "Locust" is a general, colloquial term that
usually refers to migratory grasshoppers of the order Orthoptera, but is sometimes applied
to other insects of the order, including crickets and katydids.
