These creatures mean no harm! Take the pledge to save them.
Here are some fun cicada facts:
+ The name is a direct derivation of the Latin cicada, meaning "tree cricket".
+ Cicadas make beautiful music, who doesn't love the cicada song?
+ The North American genus goes through either a 17 or 13-year life cycle.
+ Cicadas do not bite or sting, but may mistake you for a tree or plant limb and attempt to feed.
These creatures mean no harm! Join us in our fight to keep cicadas safe from extermination!
