A list of puns related to "Periodical Cicada"
🔥 For the first time in 17 years billions of periodical cicadas will emerge in 15 US states, including Washington. Cadaggedon has begun here in KY.

Consider the periodical cicada
Hello community!
I know that many of you like to speculate about dinosaur-like critters, and that is fine and dandy; but in the end, they all taste like chicken.
This little note is not about that.
Since Brood X is about to erupt in the eastern USA, as the title states: Consider the periodical cicada.
- periodical cicadas have a cycle of (depending on the brood) something like 13 to 17 years.
- while waiting to emerge they suck the sap out of tree roots.
- and then, all at once, they emerge all together with their beady little red eyes and one -- and only one -- thought on their little minds, namely "I'm gonna have sex today!"
I think that god was taking a day off from special creation when cicadas arose.
You may ask: "How is this relevant to the SpecEvo community?" I suggest you go back and re-read my observations because, you know, how likely is it that a critter should spend 17 years underground sucking the sap out of tree roots only to emerge for one day in the hope of getting laid?
Periodical cicadas may not be as fancy and thrilling as dinosaur-like critters, but they surely do have an unusual lifestyle.
🔥 A baby cicada: 2021 will mark the emergence of “Brood X,” a group that's made up of three species of “periodical” cicadas that come out only once every 17 years. reddit.com/gallery/n53hcf
TIL Many believe the reason periodical cicadas emerge in broods at 13 or 17 year intervals (both prime numbers), it reduces the risk of predators or competitors syncing their life cycles baltimoresun.com/bal-te.m…
Active Periodical Cicada Broods in the United States
Found a bunch of these guys under some tires in the woods! I'm really hoping these guys are the periodical cicadas! Their last emergence happened when I was 8 and sparked my love of insects! It'll be great to see them again, I will great them like an old friend! Silver Spring, Maryland reddit.com/gallery/m1jvx3
Anyone else ready to claw their way out of the depths of quarantine like the 17 year periodical cicadas about to hit and just scream for 6 to 8 weeks straight?

Frogcada, for all those poised for the greatest collection and cacophony of periodical cicadas on earth, the Great Eastern Brood X is coming May 2021, trillions are expected from 15 US states.
Education materials on Brood X periodical cicadas K-6
Hello educators,
This spring, millions of periodical cicadas will emerge from the ground in MD, VA, WV, PA, KY, NC, OH. A team of researchers and GWU and Georgetown University have put together free K-6 educational materials for the Brood X periodical cicada emergence. We have made a 20-minute presentation and a digital notebook for you to use with your students. Don't miss our Haiku contest! Please share with your colleagues - let's replace fear with fascination and use this wonder of nature as a teachable moment! Enjoy!

Evolution of Periodical Cicadas youtu.be/1q_-bKO9Hqs
Periodical cicadas are great at maths. They only ever emerge from the ground after a prime number of years (13 or 17). By doing this, different broods of cicadas minimise the chances of emerging at the same time. This helps them avoid hybridisation and possibly extinction youtu.be/1q_-bKO9Hqs

What is the molecular basis for time keeping in periodical 17 year cicada’s?
In this article
“How 17-year cicadas keep track of time”
They found evidence that cicadas will track time through fluctuations of light as days go by. They guess that light patterns cause the plant xylem (which the cicadas feed on while 17 years underground) to undergo amino acid concentration change, in terms of quantity and quality, which the cicadas track and react to.
Is this right? Are there any follow up studies to show the actual molecular basis in how the cicadas track time through plant xylem, or otherwise?
