Baris ka-35:
The fact that only males produce the cicadas' distinctive sound prompted [[Xenophon]] to remark "Blessed are the cicadas, for they have voiceless wives." Both sexes, however, have [[tympana]], which are membranous structures used to detect sounds; thus, the cicadas' equivalent of [[ear]]s.

After mating, the female cuts slits into the bark of a twig and deposits her eggs there. She may do so repeatedly, until she has laid several hundred eggs. When the eggs hatch, the newborn nymphs drop to the ground, where they burrow and start another cycle. Most cicadas go through a life cycle that lasts between two to five years. Some species have much longer life cycles, e.g. the ''[[Magicicada]]'' goes through a 13- or even 17-year life cycle. These long life cycles are an adaption to predation, as a predator could not regulary fall into synchrony with the cicadas. Another feature of these life cycle is that 13 and 17 are prime numbers. A cicada with a 15-year life cycle could be preyed upon by a predator with a 3- or 5-year life cycle, but the 13- and 17-year cycles allow them to stop the predators falling into step.
 
Most of this time, the animals spend underground as [[nymph (biology)|nymph]]s at depths ranging from about 30 cm (1 [[Foot (unit of length)|ft]]) up to 2.5 [[metre|m]] (about 8½ ft). The nymphs feed on root juices and have strong front legs for digging.
 
In the final nymphal [[instar]], they construct an exit tunnel to the surface and emerge. On a nearby plant, they [[ecdysis|moult]] one last time and emerge as an adult. When they moult, they shed their skins, and the abandonded skins can often be found left on trees, still clinging to the bark.
