description In Florida, cicadas are best known for their loud calls heard during the day, usually issuing from trees. Their cast nymphal skeletons are often seen on the trunks of trees or on shrubs.

Although these periodical cicadas (Magicicada spp.) do not occur in Florida, they merit further discussion under Life Cycles. This document is EENY-327, one of a series of Featured Creatures from the Entomology and Nematology Department, Florida Cooperative Extension Service, Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences, University of Florida.
