Cicadas live underground for most of their lives, where they drink from plant roots and develop
into adults. They emerge from the ground to sing, mate, and lay eggs. The songs, sung mostly by
males, can reach 100 decibels. Females lay fertilized eggs in the branches of plants, where they
hatch and burrow underground. The adult cicadas die, and the world becomes a little bit quieter.
The cicada cycle will last about 6 weeks, so those emerging in mid-May should be gone by late
June, depending on the weather. Then the babies or nymphs will dig into the ground to suck tree
roots for another 17 years.
Of course, those tasty exoskeletons that adult cicadas shed will still be all over the ground. So
you’ll need to be vigilant with your dog for a while longer.
Bottom line: Preventing your dog from eating cicadas is the safest choice. Get ahead of the game
and teach the “leave it” command. And if you have a pup who likes to act like an anteater, you
may need to be constant companions when he goes outside for a couple of months.
