This process is called sublimation. The opposite (deposition) is where a gas turns directly into a solid. Sublimation occurs if the pressure and temperature are right for the specific substance, so that the solid phase in a phase diagram borders the gas phase.
Most cicadas go through a life cycle that lasts from two to five years. Some species have much longer life cycles, such as the North American genus, Magicicada, which has a number of distinct broods that go through either a 17-year or, in some parts of the world, a 13-year life cycle.
Usually, smaller fish have shorter lives. For example, bettas live for an average of two years, and killifish may only live for a year. On the other hand, larger fish lead longer lives. Loaches can live 10 years or longer. Goldfish vary in size depending on their habitat, but they can live for decades. Most domestic fish do not live as long as they could.
