[To contact us] Note: Reports of Brood X cicadas are being sought from the general public. To report an emergence, please see the Cicada Links section below. What is a periodical cicada? Cicadas are flying, plant-sucking insects of the Order Hemiptera; their closest relatives are leafhoppers, treehoppers, and fulgoroids. Adult cicadas tend to be large (most are 25-50mm), with prominent wide-set eyes, short antennae, and clear wings held roof-like over the abdomen. Cicadas are probably best known for their conspicuous acoustic signals or "songs", which the males make using specialized structures called tymbals, found on the abdomen. All but a few cicada species have multiple-year life cycles, most commonly 2-8 years (de Boer and Duffels 1996). In most species, adults can be found every year because the population is not developmentally synchronized; these are often called "annual" cicada species. In contrast, the cicadas in a

Tips for using this web site to supplement the Field Guide 's treatments of katydids and crickets. Listen to sample songs. The primary goal of this Web site is to enable users to identify crickets, katydids, and cicadas from America north of Mexico. The males of most species in these groups make loud, persistent calls that attract sexually ready, conspecific females. Because the songs are loud and species specific they are usually an easy means of identifying the caller. They also facilitate field and laboratory studies of many sorts. Secondary goals are to attract amateur and professional biologists to the study of singing insects and to provide helpful information and access to literature.

The Singing Cicadas Menu Introduction Periodical Cicadas Singing Reproduction ... Myths and Ancient History Introduction The word Cicada derives directly from the Latin Cicada, in Greek they are called Tettix, or Tzitzi. Insects were thought by some people to be quite similar to mankind and it was with this thought in mind that J.G.Myers in his lovely book "Insect Singers" wrote the following. It will not therefore surprise one to find the greatest musical artists of the insect world among its deepest drinkers Their sudden appearance in the hottest season of the year, their mysterious feeding habits, and above all their striking musical performances have attracted mankind's attention to the Cicadas for thousands of years. Cicadas are members of the Hemiptera, then the Homoptera, the Homoptera is often considered an order in its own rite these days but in some books you will find it designated as a suborder of the Hemiptera. They are then members of the superfamily Cicadoidea, and the Family Cicadidae, or in the case of two unusual Australian species Family Tettigarctidae. There are about 1500 species of Cicada in the world, some of the largest are in the genera Pomponia and Tacua. Cicadas are mainly warm-temperate to tropical in habitat. There are 202 species in Australia compared with about 100 species in the Palaearctic and only one species in the UK. The British species is Melampsalta montana (was Cicadetta) which is widespread outside of the UK and occurs up to 61

Common Name Dog Day Cicada Scientific Name Tibicen pruinosa A.K.A.: The Harvestfly W eeee-oh, weeee-oh, weeee-oh, weeee-oh, weeee-oh, weeee-oh, weeee-oh - - - from late afternoon to dark, the male Dog Day Cicadas call from their perches in the trees to attract a mate. Starting in mid-summer and continuing for about two months the choruses of these noisy insects are an unmistakeable sign of the season. Cicadas are members of the Insect order Homoptera . Other insects in the same order are Aphids, Scale Insects, Leafhoppers, Treehoppers and the way-cool Froghoppers (also known as Spit Bugs!). Homopterans have a short, piercing/sucking mouthpart which resembles a hypodermic needle and their wings are clear for their entire length. Cicadas use their mouth to suck sap. The forewings of the similar Hemiptera , or True Bugs, have a thickened base. (Some authorities place these two groups as suborders within the order Heteroptera .) Both the Homoptera and the Hemiptera have incomplete metamorphosis , where the egg hatches into a nymph that grows through several stages called instars until it finally transforms into the adult stage. Adults are reproductive and may be recognized by the presence of wings. There are over 160 species of cicada in North America north of Mexico. They come in many different sizes. Some are found in prairies and others are found in woodlands.

Adult Cicada Cicada Facts by Koday's Kids €The cicada is related to the harvest fly. €Some cicada's live underground for seventeen years. €The cicada grows up to three inches. €Cicadas suck juice from tree roots when they are larva. €Once the female cicada comes above ground, she mates. Then she lays her eggs and dies. €The cicada can lay four hundred to six hundred eggs. €The adult cicada lives in trees. €Adult cicadas live for thirty to forty days. €A cicada can chirp so loud you can hear it from half a mile away. €A male cicada abdomen has two drum like sound chambers. More Cicada Facts There are two main kinds of periodical cicadas in the United States. One kind spends 17 years as a nymph feeding on tree roots while living below ground, and the other lives underground for 13 years! Then each type, as if on some signal, emerges at the same time from the ground. They change into adults, lay eggs, and after a few weeks, they die. We don't see the next generation until 13 or 17 years later! Voted least likely to need a megaphone... The male cicada makes the loudest sound in the insect world. By vibrating the ribbed plates in a pair of amplifying cavities at the base of the abdomen, the mating sound of the cicada can be heard as far as 440 yards! These insect noisemakers rarely ever stop calling for a mate. The noise from large groups of cicadas can often drown out even the noisiest lawnmower.

29. About Cicadas, The Insect... Cicadas are mediumsized to large insects, some species reaching a length of 3.8 cm (1.5 in). The body is stout and the head short, with bristlelike http://www.cicada.com/about/mascot.html

Tuesday, September 20, 2005, 02:05 AM Our offices are closed Office hours are from 9 a.m. - 6 p.m. EST M-F. After Hours Contact Information Our history Our People The Cicada Entymology, meet our namesake photograph courtesy of the University of Michigan Museum of Zoology Cicadas are medium-sized to large insects, some species reaching a length of 3.8 cm (1.5 in). The body is stout and the head short, with bristlelike antennae, large eyes, and sucking mouthparts. The two pairs of large wings are transparent, with branching veins. Drumlike membranes on the sides of the abdomen are used to make loud buzzing or shrilling sounds, as a sexual attractant. In the United States cicadas are most abundant in the East and Midwest. Various cicada species are also known as locusts or harvest flies, but they are neither true locusts nor flies. The life cycle is unusual among insects for the lengthy development period of some species. Best known in the United States are the 13-year and 17-year "locusts." After mating, the female uses the ovipositor at the end of the abdomen to cut slits in tree twigs and insert eggs, laying as many as 600 eggs in all. The wingless young, called nymphs, hatch in about six weeks and drop to the ground, where they work their way a few centimeters into the soil. Feeding on the sap of tree roots, they slowly mature, the number of years depending on the species. When they emerge at last they climb up the tree trunk (sometimes tens of thousands on a single tree) and fasten themselves securely to molt. The adults emerge from the nymphal cases, dry in a few hours, mate, and feed on plants until they die in about one month. The stridulation of countless cicadas in a forest after a mass emergence creates an unforgettable sound that seems to travel in waves across many kilometers.

31. 17-year Cicada Information The periodical cicada is a stoutbodied, black insect 1-1½ to 2 inches long. Its body has orange or orange-brown stripes, and the wings are membranous. http://www.wvu.edu/~agexten/ipm/insects/cicadafb.htm

Get Ready! 17-year Cicadas are coming John F. Baniecki, Ph.D. Extension Specialist, Plant Pathology and Entomology Professor, Plant Sciences Division, College of Agriculture 1999 Cicada Emergence Map Much of West Virginia will receive a regular but not too welcome visitor this spring. Brood V of the periodical cicada, the so-called 17-year locust, will appear in large numbers in 40 counties in 1999. The onslaught of this well known insect is always memorable because of its tremendous numbers, its incessant high-pitched sounds, and the loss of countless numbers of twigs and small branches. During its short aerial existence, it leaves very decisive signs of its presence in slits, which thickly fill the smaller twigs and branches of trees. Growers worry that crops will be destroyed. However, the cicada does not feed on foliage of any kind. If the adult feeds at all, it does so by inserting its beak into bark and sucking juices. Besides making a lot of noise, about the only thing cicadas do in most places is prune the tips of branches and shrubs. It is their cousinsthe likes of aphids, scale insects, and greenbugs that cause broad crop damage regionally and nationally. The periodical cicada is a stout-bodied, black insect 1-1½ to 2 inches long. Its body has orange or orange-brown stripes, and the wings are membranous. The eyes and legs are red. It closely resembles the common "jar fly" or "dog-day fly" seen every year, except it is somewhat smaller and darker.

Read about related Homoptera by using the "Forward" and "Backward" device icons. Homoptera are similar to the Hemiptera true bugs. In addition to differences in the origin of their sucking mouthparts, Homoptera have a uniformly thickened forewings that overlap slightly at the tips. Homoptera groups include cicadas, leaf hoppers, whiteflies, aphids and scale insects. Cicada Genus species Homoptera Cicadidae Cicada own the reputation of being the loudest animal in the world. Producing a loud whining sound with two tymbal structure that is greatly amplified with air-filled resonating chambers, the cicada is also a proficient ventriloquist, making it hard to locate the actual source of the noise. The ancient Greek revered this insect and the Chinese made jade cicada amulets. These amulets were placed under the tongue of the deceased to induce resurrection. This symbolism comes from an observance of immature cicada emerging fresh from their molded skins.

All insects have a hard exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax, and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and two antennae. The legs (and wings, if applicable) are attached to the thorax. Insects breathe through holes called spiracles. Insects hatch from eggs. Insect means "segmented" in Latin. There are about a million different types of insects and many more that have not been discovered yet. Insects (Class Insecta) are currently divided into 31 orders Insects evolved during the Silurian Period, 438 to 408 mya (long before the dinosaurs appeared). The biggest insect that ever lived was the ancient dragonfly called Meganeura . This predatory flying insect lived about 250 million years ago and had a wingspan of about 2 feet.
