RMD8E44J–27th May 2013. The shed nymphal skin of a brood II cicada having emerged from the ground in Tenafly, New Jersey, USA. The phenomenon of the seventeen year cicadas has not been seen since 1996, but they are back in 2013 and vast numbers are predicted along the eastern seaboard of the US. These periodical cicadas survive for 17 years on the fluids of deciduous tree roots before emerging synchronously to break out of their skin and breed. Adult cicadas live for just a few weeks before dropping out of the trees leaving huge piles of carcasses. The nymphs tunnel underground to complete the cycle.
