How long do cicadas live?
The cicada will stay underground from 2 to 17 years depending on the species. Cicadas are active underground, tunneling, and feeding, and not sleeping or hibernating as commonly thought. After the long 2 to 17 years, cicadas emerge from the ground as nymphs. Nymphs climb the nearest available vertical surface (usually a plant) and begin to shed their nymph exoskeleton. Free of their old skin, their wings will inflate with fluid (haemolymph) and their adult skin will harden (sclerotize). Once their new wings and body are ready, they can begin their brief adult life. Some life spans for well known cicadas: North America: Magicicada septendecim, M. cassini and M. septendecula: 13 to 2210, but typically 17. Magicicada tredecim, M. neotredecim, M. tredecassini, and M. tredecula: 9 to 17, but typically 13. Diceroprocta apache: 2-5, but typically 3-4 years. Tibicen genera: 2-7 years. Okanagana rimosa: 9 years. Okanagana synodica: possibly 17 to 19 years. Australia: Cyclochila australasiae: 6-7. India: Chremistica ribhoi: 4. Japan: Hyalessa maculaticollis: 2-5, but typically 3. New Zealand: Amphipsalta zealandica: 3-4, but typically 4. The length of a cicada's life depends upon the cicada species. Cicadas in the genus Magicicada (the periodical cicadas) if left undisturbed in their nymphal, below ground habitat will live about 13 or 17 years, depending on the species.
Compare and contrast the support systems of cicadas and sea urchins?
Well, honey, cicadas and sea urchins both have support systems, but they're as different as night and day. Cicadas rely on their exoskeleton for structure and protection, while sea urchins have an endoskeleton made of calcium carbonate plates. So, in a nutshell, cicadas wear their support on the outside, while sea urchins keep it all on the inside.
