the time it takes for a cicada nymph to complete all 5 instar stages is also species dependent. In the case of Magicicadas, the development is "synchronized" with siblings of the same brood. This synchronized development is so well documented that accurate predictions regarding emergences can be made and why Magicicadas are considered "periodical". In Magicicadas, this development can be set by the number of years it takes for them to emerge. In the case of southern Magicicada broods, it is 13 years and in northern broods it is 17 years?? im not sure if this is answering ur question.

Is there a cicada worth anything?

Yes, certain cicada species can be valuable, particularly those that are rare or sought after by collectors. For instance, the periodical cicadas, especially the Magicicada species that emerge in large broods every 13 or 17 years, can be considered valuable due to their rarity and unique life cycle. Additionally, some cicada specimens can fetch high prices in the entomology market, depending on their condition and rarity. However, most common cicadas have little to no monetary value.
