The Periodical Cicada, "the 17-year Locust"

After years of living in underground tunnels, millions of cicadas issue from the earth as if by a predetermined signal, undergo startling transformations, and spread through nearby trees and bushes. From morning till night they fill the air with their weird, droning song. In a few weeks, after mating and laying eggs, they die. The periodical cicada, often erroneously called the 17-year locust, is widely distributed over the eastern half of the United States, and occurs nowhere else in the world. In the North its life cycle is completed in 17 years; in the South the cycle is completed in 13 years. The periodical cicada, known scientifically as Magicicada septendecim, is closely related to common cicadas, which appear every year. The common cicadas, called harvest flies and dog-day cicadas, appear later in the season than the periodical, and the adults live longer. Their whirring song, which is slightly similar to that of the periodical cicadas, but has less variation in the notes, is a "lazy" sound that we associate with the languorous days of late summer. Early American colonists had never seen the periodical cicada. They were familiar with the Biblical story of locust plagues in Egypt, but were not sure what kind of insect the story referred to. When the cicadas appeared suddenly by the millions, some of the 3 colonists thought a "locust plague" had been visited upon them. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
