Description
Last year while digging a hole to plant a fruit tree I found one of these alive in the ground. It was about half full grown size. I'd never seen on before. I wonder how long they live down there before coming up to molt... Folk wisdom says 7 years around here. That's one long lived bug!Related content

Hmmm, I've heard of population booms ever 7 years, but I have no idea how long individuals live.

Omg that is so true! On more than a couple of instances I found glaring mistakes in articles on Wikipedia! It's frightening how people still take it as gospel, tho!
