Media Faux Pas. The attached sheet has been very useful to the journalists who write about periodical cicadas. I first posted it during Brood X. Attached is a revised version. Feel free to share. #cicadas #magicicada#periodical cicadas
Saw this Dr. Sammy cicada song during Brood X but it is well worth reposting, youtube.com/watch?v=q4rG0uMV…
If you dig cicada nymphs up in your garden, take note of whether they have black patches or not, record the date, and then record the date of the big emergence nights.
Question: We know that periodical cicadas eyes turn red up to a year before emergence, their holes can appear up to a month before emergence. But when do the black patches on the thorax form? #magicicada #cicadas #citizenscience @cicadamania
Has anyone else seen large amounts of fungus? This suggests that this population came out 3 to 4 weeks ago! This is very early based on emergence reports on iNaturalist and CicadaSafari.

I re-read the original BUCKy paper by Ané et al, probably for the first time in 10 years. I forgot how creative and original it was, and how many of the ideas in it have simply been rediscovered by others (including me).

The net was given to me by Jin Yoshimura, emeritus professor at Shizuoka University in Japan. He probably purchased it in Japan.
Final boss mode Arthropod Abbey for sure 🤩😂
This net belongs to the great @CicadaScience whom I am borrowing it from for the Queer Science event - I never knew special cicada nets existed and now I'm utterly enamored
ALT a person holding a VERY long bug collecting net, the handle is at least 10 feet long. The person is standing in a messy lab

An awesome talk by @uconneeb grad @AnalisaMilkey on her sequential Monte Carlo approach to sampling from the multispecies coalescent model! #Evol2023
