Lifecycles

I think it's interesting how lifecycles can influence things. A tree that lives 5000 years must have a very different "view" of the world than a human or a bug. Of course, most insects have lifetimes measured in weeks, but there is an interesting exception - the 17 year cidada. This is a great video showing the last frenzied weeks of these insects lives as they emerge from the ground and furiously mate, lay eggs and then die.
