When they are mature, they climb out of the ground and complete one final molt. They emerge as an adult cicada with wings, and fly away to find a mate. Once they become an adult they stop growing and do not molt again. Some of the species that take 13 or 17 years all come out of the ground at one time.
3,000 known species of cicadas occur worldwide. Periodical cicadas include the large sub-species Magicicada septendecim, who live underground for 13 to 17 years, slowly growing from larvae to adults, then emerge to engage in an ear-splitting, musical mating ritual for four weeks, lay their eggs and die.
