What's that deafening buzz? It may be a cicada group living in your tree! But, these odd insects actually live most of their lives underground. This book details the bizarre life cycle of the cicada, including the deposit of hundreds of eggs on a tree branch and more information about the periodic cicada that can live 17 years! Fun Fact boxes give readers even more strange information, and a simple graphic organizer of their life cycle aids readers' understanding. Full-color photographs enhance easy-to-understand language and science content.
