In a prior post I noted how cicadas use a prime number of years to maximize their survival against predators ( https://www.blogger.com/blog/post/edit/8711601538345502519/2640846713843380019). It also turns our that the females use a body part, a depositor, composed of manganese, zinc, and iron to deposit her eggs. Therefore, cicadas are infests' masters of prime numbers and metallurgy.
