The term periodical cicada is commonly used to refer to any of the seven species of the genus Magicicada of eastern North America, the 13- and 17-year cicadas.They are called periodical because nearly all individuals in a local population are developmentally synchronized and emerge in the same year.
Cicadas are also notable for the great length of time some species take to mature. [10] At least 3,000 cicada species are distributed worldwide, in essentially any habitat that has deciduous trees, with the majority being in the tropics. Most genera are restricted to a single biogeographical region, and many species have a very limited range.

The life cycle of an annual cicada typically spans 2 to 5 years; they are "annual" only in the sense that members of the species reappear once a year. The name is used to distinguish them from periodical cicada species, which occur only in Eastern North America, are developmentally synchronized, and appear in great swarms every 13 or 17 years. [1]
