When they are mature, they climb out of the ground and complete one final molt. They emerge as an adult cicada with wings, and fly away to find a mate. Once they become an adult they stop growing and do not molt again. Some of the species that take 13 or 17 years all come out of the ground at one time.
Behavior, Diet & Habits. The female adult cicada lays eggs on trees and shrubs by inserting the eggs into the small twigs at the outer end of tree branches. Cicadas donât cause damage by chewing leaves, but do create damage as they lay eggs. Eggs hatch in about 40-60 days and become nymphs. Nymphs drop to the ground, burrow about 1 â 2 feet into the soil where they feed on the fluids in the small roots of the host plant.
