Interesting Insects
Volume #1
Hello!
Welcome to my new blog. I have decided to change topics from Modern Mood to Interesting Insects where I talk about different insects or arachnids each week. This week I will talk to you about my favorite insect which is a cicada.
These live during summer in the eastern part of the U.S. At night you can here them as they admit a high pitched buzzing noise. Cicadas spend most of their life underground before the crawl up and shed their exoskeleton. Cicadas are completely harmless to plants, animals in humans so there is no need to squish them. There are two types of cicadas periodical and Annual.
We will start with annual. The most common annual cicada is the dogday cicada. They emerge from the ground every year. They are green and black. They are roughly two inches long and live in region 4 of the U.S.
Periodical cicadas are slightly different they are all underground and emerge every so many years. The most common is brood ten which emerges every seventeen years. Brood ten is the largest and they emerge in the billions. The last emergence was in 2021 and i was lucky enough to have witnessed it. For two weeks there were so many cicadas you couldn't see the bark on a tree.
Thanks for reading and have a nice day.
