Billions of periodic cicadas, the loudest of all insects, are about to descend on parts of the U.S., including your state, after spending 17 years underground. And when they arrive in mid-May it will sound like a perpetual buzz saw has invaded your community. Here are some quick facts from the National Wildlife Federation about these amazing and very noisy creatures. Seven Quick Facts About Cicadas The group that is emerging this year, Brood X, is thought to be the largest of all the 17-year cicada broods. Periodical cicadas are found only in the United States east of the Great Plains. Brood X will affect DE, GA, IL, IN, KY, MD, MI, NC, NJ, NY, OH, PA, TN, VA, WV. This year's brood will arrive in early May and be around through mid-June. Periodic cicadas look noticeably different from the dog day cicada that most people are familiar with. They have red eyes and are mostly black with orange-veined wings. The 17-year life cycle of the periodic cicada is the longest of any insect.

Male cicada choruses swell to thousands—tens of thousands—and flirt with the subtlety of jets shrieking in for a landing. And thousands of charmed females respond. In Cincinnati this May, 17-year periodical cicadas of the Brood X group left thousands of holes in the ground as they emerged 4 years ahead of schedule. Kritsky When periodical cicadas emerge, once every 13 or 17 years, local outdoor restaurants languish. People threaten to move or go mad. The din has inspired commentary from the greats of natural history such as Charles Darwin, as well as from just about every local newspaper reporter in search of a spring feature. So, why were two graduate students recently able to identify important components in the mating calls of periodical cicada that no one had ever described?

Insect Library CICADA KILLER (Sphecius speciosus) Biology Abdomen is black with yellow markings on first 3 abdominal segments. The wings have an orange tint. Beneficial due to the control of cicadas Solitary wasp, but many individuals can use the same general area for nesting purposes. Males cannot sting; females will only sting if handled or stepped on. Distribution/Habits Females dig burrows up to 10 inches deep and six inches wide. A male Cicada killer guards the entrance to the burrow. Adults are seen in late July when cicadas are plentiful. The female paralyzes a live cicada by stinging it and she carries it back to her burrow. She lays an egg on the live cicada; upon hatching, the wasp larvae feed on the paralyzed, but still living, cicada. Cicada killers are feared by homeowners due to their large size.

Watching the Detectives Earlier Columns Related: FEC Chairman Bradley Smith explains his vote. A Reason interview May 21, 2004 Bug Bane Must we learn to love cicadas? Jacob Sullum If life gives you cicadas, make cicada pie . That seems to be the general attitude of the journalists and scientists chronicling the creepy, crawly, crunchy onslaught of the Brood X periodical cicada. This cheery attitude may be the only thing more annoying than the cicadas themselves. It would be bad enough if enthusiasm for the insect invasion were limited to photo swapping , Brood X mugs and T-shirts , and cicada recipes . But in addition to those manifestations of cicadamania, we've got high-minded lectures on the deeper meaning of the bugs festooning our homes, sidewalks, shrubs, and trees. The New York Times informs us that "the periodic nature of the cicadas, the way they come at about the span of a person's youth, makes them irresistible emotional mnemonics." To support this claim, the paper quotes Robert J. Thompson, a professor of popular culture at Syracuse University, who says, "Cicadas are the sound of summer, of the year when you were young...It's the closest thing to a time machine you can get outside science fiction." Yet as I vacuum hundreds of cicada husks, squashed cicada corpses, and wriggling, half-dead cicadas off our house, our porch, our walkway, our deck, and our patio every morning, I am not instantly transported to my first year out of college, when love was new and dreams were vivid. My feeling is not so much wistfulness as disgust.

The Buzz On Cicada It’s a short season in the sun for this buzzing insect. by CHARLES FONAAS Who among us hasn't heard that persistent hum in the trees on a warm summer afternoon? Most everyone knows the sound and many know the source, but few take the time to see the noisy little buzzer who simply insists on being heard. Although more than nine species of cicadas are found in Wisconsin, the one most frequently encountered is Tibicen canicularis , sometimes called the Dogday Harvestfly . Although it might look a bit fearsome to the person lucky enough to see one up close, it is completely harmless; buzzing is the way it attracts a mate. The cicada looks like a fly to some, but it is actually closely related to the much smaller aphids and leafhoppers. The droning sound is produced by a pair of drumskin-like organs on the base of the abdomen. These vibrate at a high speed thus buzzing when the male cicada calls for a mate usually between mid-July and mid-September. Once mating is complete, the female slits an opening in a small branch or twig with her ovipositor and deposits a small cluster of eggs. When the eggs hatch, the young nymphs drop to the ground, burrow down and begin feeding by sucking nourishing juices from the tree roots. The nymphs remain in their subterranean (underground) world for approximately two years before they are ready to emerge into daylight and begin their adult lives. Other cicada species have a 4-17 year life cycle.

SENSING I was from out of town, the taxi driver asked me if I'd ever heard of Brood X. Nope, I replied, feeling intrigued but also uneasy, "Brood X" taking an almost ominous tone. I was, after all, in Washington, the belly of the whale, breathing the same air as Dubya Bush and other politicians whose decisions were shaping the lives of people all around the world. The cab driver looked at his rear view mirror and then instructed me, "Look behind you, lower right hand corner of the window. There's one of them." Did I want to look? What was this Brood X? I could imagine some slimy creature clinging to the window, large beady eyes staring at me, flicking a tongue a foot long. But I decided to be brave and looked. "Oh my goodness," I squealed, much to the consternation of the cab driver, "it's a. . ." and suddenly I was struck down by a senior moment, unable to remember what the English name was, "it's a kuliglig."

Cicadas Truly Bugged Resort to an Anti-Cicada Arsenal By Cameron W. Barr Washington Post Staff Writer Saturday, June 5, 2004; Page B01 Now that they have been among us for a few weeks, now that we have mused on their songs, their sex lives, even forgive us their gastronomic appeal, the charm of the cicada is starting to wear a little thin. The other day, a cicada homed in on Gregory Camp, a young U.S. Department of Agriculture intern, as he walked along a busy Silver Spring street. Camp twisted evasively, but the bug landed on his shirt anyway. He interrupted the cicada's embrace with a backhanded brushoff. "They're large and annoying," observed Camp, whose strategy for surviving the remaining few weeks of cicadaville is simply to forge ahead. "I just go on with my daily life, and if they land on me, I just knock them off." This approach may work for Camp, a tall, stocky 19-year-old not cowed by winged insects. Others are not so resilient. Some are taking steps be it a veiled hat or a can of bug spray to maintain control and dignity amid the onslaught. A cicada is a cicada is a cicada is still an insect, after all, a flying one at that, and one that sometimes jeopardizes the sense of order that humans like to impose on their environment.

@import "/styles/coopext_adv.css"; no. 5.590 Cicadas by W.S. Cranshaw and B. Kondratieff Quick Facts... Figure 1: Dog-day cicada. Figure 2: Putnam's cicada. Figure 3: Cicada killer wasp. Cicadas are large insects that develop on the roots of trees and shrubs. Most are long-lived and may take two to five years to become full grown. Male cicadas "sing" to attract females. Many produce loud, shrill buzzing noises. Cicadas do little if any injury while feeding on plants. Adults sometimes cause injury when they insert eggs into twigs, producing splintering wounds. Cicadas are the largest Colorado insects in the order Homoptera, which includes other sap-sucking groups such as leafhoppers, aphids and spittlebugs. Twenty-six species occur in the state. The largest, the "dog-day cicadas," are stout-bodied insects over 2 inches long. Although abundant, cicadas are far more often heard than seen. Males make a variety of sounds to attract females. Most commonly heard are loud, often shrill, buzzing, sometimes with several individual insects synchronizing their songs. Other cicadas make clicking noises. Despite their large size, cicadas cause little injury. The immature stages (nymphs) develop slowly underground. They feed on roots but cause no detectable harm to the plants. The greatest injury occurs when large numbers of certain cicadas, such as the Putnam's cicada, insert eggs into stems of trees and shrubs. This egg laying injury can cause some twig dieback.
