After lying beneath the earth for up to 17 years, cicadas venture above ground as a massive group to shed their larvae shells, sprout wings and sing for a mate. Sir David Attenborough demonstrates how easy it is to hypnotise a male cicada with the click of his fingers in this amazing wildlife video from BBC animal show 'Life in the Undergrowth'.

  • BBC once again has made me wonder how they get their camera shots.

  • so Who keeps the track of their 17 year duration? do they have calendars down there? how do they even count how many days have passed?

    Indeed they are timed by the command of God.

  • I remember seeing this documentary in high school. For some reason we found these bugs hilarious.
