Question: "I have seen many cicadas missing an abdomen, due to damage from outside forces (i.e., me) still survive. From time to time, I see many heads with attached wings still climbing the trees. Why are they still alive, and what goal are they trying to accomplish?"
Answer: First, stop ripping the bellies off of cicadas. Most cicadas are missing abdomens because of fungal infections and predators. They keep on trying because of the natural will to mate and survive -- off course they'll die soon and never breed because their sex organs are gone.
Ki's going to have bad visions of heads with wings all day long.
