All the critters, birds, & some predators are going to be feasting. FEASTING. this is their stuffed crust supreme pizza with 16 bone-in wings, 5 cheese dip & bread twists, loaded tots, & lava cake, feast. Ohhh the lucky animals will stuff themselves into a food coma.

Na. There not eaten by animals intentionally. So anything stated is meh. See there not consumed. Especially by birds and chickens.

@@bdubb5390 they do eat the cicadas, actually. The nymphs especially are valuable to animals, since they are similar to soft shell crabs.

It could cause some problems in the near future. The increase in predators populations will surely impact the ecosystem

Ya know, back in 01' if I remember the year correctly, we had thousands of these in our yard. My dad laughed because he didn't mow the yard that summer. We had a neighbor come and cut it for hay. It seemed like every tall blade of grass had one on it. For whomever stated they loved their songs must have not had the experience of having thousands in your yard. It was ear piercing non stop for weeks. Yet, ya know what. One day they were just gone. There wasn't any damage done. I found them in the creek too, underwater, which fascinated me. They obviously can live underwater in the creepy bug stage, before they shed their shell and have wings. I don't see any need for anyone to panic over them unless you are OCD about mowing your yard. I don't recommend mowing if they are in your yard!

They don’t and cannot live underwater. You’re thinking of a dragonfly nymph. They molt their exoskeleton too.

@@BrouilletteLuke I know what dragonfly nymphs are. Been playing in the creeks over forty years. The "nymphs" were indeed cicadas, with their red eyes, and they were underwater in the creek, thus the reason I was extremely fascinated. I have no reason to lie. There were full grown adult ones as well. The water literally almost camouflaged the adults. You couldn't see their wings. I can't recall if the adults were fully submerged but do know the younger ones were. I googled this just now and I see there are several others who have declared this, as well. Thank you for your response.

Periodical cicadas don't lay low to thwart predators,molting is even done alot of times during daylight.Sheer numbers void any need whatsoever to worry about predators.Compared to fast and agile annual cicadas the periodical have no need.
