CicadaX Screensaver - 1.1

Every summer, emerging from their underground homes, Cicadas spread their wings and take flight. Thousands rise up and cover trees and shrubs. Searching for mates, they sing out, an almost deafening chorus as they struggle to be heard. Soon they will mate, lay their eggs, and fall back to the earth a lifeless shell.

There are many species of Cicada; pronounced si-kay-da. Some are annual, others are periodical, remaining in juvenile stages for as many as 17 years before emerging as adults! This screensaver is dedicated to the 17 year Magicicada emergence of 2004, also known as 'Brood X'.
