Do people in Britain have Cicada insects come up from the ground every 13 years or how often?

The UK has cicadas as well. But they eat roots of trees not so much grass that's a different insect pest. Scarabaeid larvae will eat roots of grass that is well kept and destroy it. Dig up a patch of grass look in the roots you might see an insect that looks like a white worm with huge jaws and a black butt and they curl up in a C usually.
