By evaporative cooling, desert cicadas can reduce their bodily temperature by some 5 °C. The cicada also modulates the song by positioning its abdomen toward or away from the substrate. Though these cicadas have lifecycles that can vary from one to nine or more years as underground larvae, their emergence above ground as adults is not synchronized, so some members of each species appear every year.[1].
