Fun Facts & Conservation:

Cicadas are known for their loud, buzzing chorus in the summer. They spend most of their lives underground as nymphs, sometimes for as long as 17 years, before emerging for a short adult life. Their mass emergence provides a feast for a wide variety of animals, from birds and squirrels to raccoons and snakes. Their tunneling through the soil also helps to aerate the ground, improving the health of forests.

✅ Great for classrooms, clubs, workshops, and gifts ✅ Screen-free STEM-aligned activity ✅ Educational discounts & wholesale orders available
