According to wiki, they spend a lot of time underground. During these spells they are known as "nymphs" and subsist on "root juice".
I am not making this up!
I reckon if I were a nymph full of root juice I'd be a bit frisky when I got out in the open again.

Welcome back Pondlife - haven't seen you for a week or so.
I know someone whose dog ate a cicada without chewing and it rattled all the way down.

Around here, they only come out every 21 years, so I'd be pretty happy to be free, too.
