CATDOLL : CATDOLL: It takes several years for a cicada to grow into a tree.

1. How many years does it take for a cicada to grow into adulthood?

The golden cicadas bred in Shandong Province refer to the large golden cicadas, which have black eyes. With the current breeding technology, the cycle is long and it takes three years for this kind of cicada to grow into a mature one.

2. How many years does it take for a cicada egg to hatch?

About three years.

It takes three years from the time the cicada lays eggs to the time the cicada pupae are harvested. The eggs are collected in the autumn after the cicada lays eggs, usually around the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and the larvae hatch in about fifteen days.

At this time, you will see some larvae crawling up and down on the branches. When about 20% of the larvae have hatched, they should be buried. Golden cicadas are also known as grasshopper cicadas, and nymphs are also called cicada turtles. They have extremely high nutritional value for medicinal food and a unique taste. The nymphs that have just emerged from the ground are the best.

3. How long does it take for a cicada monkey to grow up?

If we count from egg to adult cicada, the time it takes to become a cicada varies. Some take two or three years, some take five or six years, and the longest one takes seventeen years to grow from a larva to break through the soil and emerge as a cicada.

After the cicada eggs hatch and fall from the tree in the spring of the second year, they will burrow into the ground, find the roots of a tree, and survive by sucking the sap from the roots. If they cannot find the roots, they will basically die.

4. How long does it take for cicada seedlings to mature?

Cultivated under trees in natural conditions. The cicada needs to grow underground for three winters and summers (three years for a cicada) from the egg stage to hatching into a cicada ant (1 month) and then growing into a mature nymph (cicada). The first year starts in June, and the weight of the year is only about 1 gram, and the whole body and eyes are milky white; the weight develops to about 3 grams in the second year, the whole body pigment deepens, and the eyes are pink; the nymph (cicada) matures in the third year, weighing 4.5-5 grams, with an average of 210 per kilogram, at this time the body color is brown, and the eyes are dark gray.

5. How long is the growth cycle of cicadas?

Cicadas usually live underground for 2-3 years, usually 4-5 years, and the longest one lives in the soil for 17 years. After the cicada eggs hatch into nymphs, they attach themselves to the roots of trees and suck sap for a living. After 2-3 years, the nymphs grow and mature. After the summer solstice, they will drill out of the soil. After about 2-4 hours after emerging from the soil, the mature nymphs will molt and become cicadas.

6. How long does it take for a cicada monkey to turn into a cicada?

If we count from egg to adult cicada, the time it takes to become a cicada varies. Some take two or three years, some take five or six years, and the longest one takes seventeen years to grow from a larva to break through the soil and emerge as a cicada.

After the cicada eggs hatch and fall from the tree in the spring of the second year, they will burrow into the ground, find the roots of a tree, and survive by sucking the sap from the roots. If they cannot find the roots, they will basically die.

7. What is the growth cycle and temperature of the cicada?

The growth period of the cicada is three months, and the temperature is 50 degrees.

The main factors for the incubation of cicada eggs are air humidity and temperature. Although we can control the incubation temperature of cicada eggs through the greenhouse effect, we must plant them within a specific period of time. Because the young cicadas (cicada ants) that have just hatched from the cicada eggs are extremely weak and can easily die.

8. What is the growth cycle of cicadas?

4 years

Cicadas spend most of their lives in the form of larvae living underground, usually staying in the soil for several years or even more than ten years, such as 3 years, 5 years, and 17 years. These numbers have one thing in common: they are all prime numbers. After the larvae emerge from the soil and become adults, their longest lifespan is about 60 to 70 days.

Cicadas usually emerge at dusk or at night. At this time, the larvae crawl out of the ground and climb onto trees, beginning the process of "shedding their skin". After a short while, the cicada's wings harden and it begins to fly.

At the end of June, the larvae begin to emerge as adults. The newly emerged cicadas are green. The males need to use their chirping to attract females to mate. In late July, the female adults begin to lay eggs. The peak egg-laying period is in early and mid-August. The eggs are mostly laid on branches that are 4 to 5 mm thick. The eggs laid by the female cicadas will not hatch into larvae until the second year, when they burrow underground to begin a new life cycle.
