The no named critter, humming its endless drone recollects the feeling of heat waves above the damp ground.The critter was waiting beneath the soil for so many years, to transform into a cicada, and it too, lost all it once recognised of home and its clan.The cicada to be, so fragile, was in hibernation where it could be alone underground.

A little bit of a fact thanks to this website."Cicadas spend most of their life underground. It has been suggested that some of the large, common Australian species of cicada may live underground as nymphs for around 6-7 years. This would explain why adult cicadas are much more abundant during some seasons that others, with peaks occurring every few years. The periodical cicadas of North America spend 13 or 17 years underground."
