By hiding well.
​
I had an idea this would come up with the new building going on at the Creation Center.
​
But what is hard to understand about the 13 or 17 year locusts (or the third species recently discovered) other than "Why were they called locusts?"

There are a number of similar species adaptations
the lemmings march to the sea and many, many plants that lie dormant for extended periods or bloom once and then die. One problem is with something that has this long of a periodicity it is hard to get funding for adequate research. With a 17 year cycle, a researcher might spend his whole career and only be able to observe two instances.

Re: Competition, not predation
Actually, yes they are syncronized, and that is the wonder of it.
