Summary

In the southern American areas the cicadas have returned. Adult cicadas are usually 2-5 centimeters long. The cicadas eat the sap from trees and have big eyes and small antenna. The cicadas lay their eggs in branches and trees. They make a loud buzzing noise. These animals have no harm to humans, they do not sting or bit but they fly around humans and they annoy them very much. They get into people houses and they can be even be stuck in their hair. But they can also protect plants. They are emerging and they are living for a short amount of time.

Connection

This reminds me of during the summer because I always see dead cicadas and them buzzing. This also reminds me of the first grade project about bugs. My partner and I were assigned to research cicadas.
