Annual Cicada

Deciduous forests and urban areas with plenty of trees

Nymphs feed on tree root sap; adults feed on xylem/sap from twigs and branches

Known for loud buzzing songs produced by males to attract mates; nymphs live underground for years before emerging to molt and mate

Harmless to humans; beneficial to the ecosystem by aerating soil as nymphs and providing a food source for birds and other wildlife
