WOOOW ... .. !!!! Cicada turns out there are more than 3000 species in the world. And live in the forest are temperate and tropical (including tropical Indonesia). Cicada liked living area which has a lot of trees and moist .Sebab landless, almost all of the cicada's life was spent in the ground .They eat the liquid contained in the roots of trees as food. 'Age of cicadas 2-3 years .Most of his life was spent in the soil in nymph form. ' But ' Several species of cicada in the United States can live up to 17 years. '
Cicada adults live in the trees just for 2-4 weeks. A few days after mating they die .At the cicada egg-laying females laying eggs branched or trees and grass. But after hatching, the nymphs produced them fall to the ground and then dig a hole as deep as 30-50 centimeters and live in the soil.
But, when the trees were cut down and a lot of barren soil conditions cicada population dropped due to the difficulty of survival. If anything, now farmers cicada area I doubt the ability to detect the arrival of the dry season .because after a few weeks after the cicada bustling sounds of rain still fell . Causes of climate change are already changing....:(....
So it is good to us to keep the natural world around us through the greening in areas that have a lot cleared, so that our children and grandchildren can still enjoy the sound of the cicada...:)...
