The cicadas being all white only lasts a very short time, then they turn this black and orange mix.
They have a strange life cycle. They hang out in the ground, sucking sap out of tree roots. Depending on the brood either for 13 or 17 years. Then, following this absurdly long stint in the soil, they emerge, sprout wings, make a ton of noise, have sex, and die within a few weeks. Their progeny return to the ground and do it all over again.
