In Roseville, The Cicadas Are Here

Roseville resident Glen Owen and his wife Linda know the cicadas are here: They spotted the birth of one this week in their vegetable garden. 
Linda noted, "Birth in the garden -- a cicada has just emerged from its nymph skeleton." Glen alerted to Linda to his discovery and she snapped the photo.  
According to Wikipedia, "About 2,500 species of cicada have been described, and many remain to be described. Cicadas live in temperate-to-tropical climates where they are among the most-widely recognized of all insects, mainly due to their large size and unique sound.
The online encyclopedia adds, " Most of the North American species are in the genus Tibicen: the annual or jar fly or dog-day cicadas (so named because they emerge in late July and August).  The best-known North American genus is Magicicada, however. These periodical cicadas have an extremely long life cycle of 13 or 17 years and emerge in large numbers."
