Answer 1

There are two types, one has a short life cycle and seem to mysteriously appear every year or two, last a few weeks and die, after mating if it's a male, after laying eggs if female (they don't eat when they come above grounds like some caterpillars don't have mouths when the become butterflies and can't eat. Sort of a sad life.)

The other type does the same but comes out of the ground every 17 years, last a few weeks then dies

Answer 2

I stepped on one once...it took less than one second for him to die.

No, just kidding.....I believe they live one season (5-7 months and stay in hybernation for 7 years.
