Isn’t there a lot of sex in there too?
Did you see those abs?
It was implied:-D.
Aren’t they in a larval state for 17 years and quite active?
From what I’ve heard, the larvae feeds on one of the worst food ever in terms of calories and nutrition which is why it takes so much time. So basically they’re just chilling on their piece of tree root which doesn’t really screams “active” to me but maybe I’m wrong
I just knew they are larvae but that makes alot of sense. Thanks!
They suck liquid from plant roots, if anyone else is wondering.
I’m curious why they evolved to just suck liquid, rather than eating the roots.
Probably because eating all the roots would kill the tree which is unsustainable long term
Is that a photo of CiChada?
Also I thought they were awake while underground most of the time
Your daily reminder that cicadas are edible and he only looks that ripped because he had quality bug protein: https://health.osu.edu/wellness/exercise-and-nutrition/cooking-cicadas
