Cicadas, particularly periodical cicadas, are known for their long life cycles, which can last 13 to 17 years. This extended period allows them to synchronize their emergence in large numbers, reducing predation and increasing their chances of reproduction. Additionally, their lengthy development underground helps them avoid seasonal changes and environmental hazards, making them well-adapted to their ecosystems. Their unique life cycle strategy ultimately contributes to their survival and success as a species.
