The Cicadoidea, cicadas (/sÉªËkÉËdÉ/ or /sÉªËkeÉªdÉ/), are a superfamily of insects in the order Hemiptera, suborder Auchenorrhyncha (formerly part of the obsolete Homoptera), along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers.he periodic cicadas spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, only emerging after 13 or 17 years, most likely to reduce losses by satiating their predators.
