its jun 5th, its been a few weeks of cicadas. Im enjoying the company. Your vid was really fun to watch. I like your down subdued delivery. Refreshing.. thumbs up
Very informative - Thank you! I loved cicadas in my childhood, but now they're an annoying noise! One of my past cats like to eat them, (but invariable threw them up). I tolerate them, but their noise makes it seem hotter weather than it actually is. Always thought they were kind of cool insects, though!
When the cicadas emerge, you'll want to have a copy of this book on hand: www.amazon.com/Cooking-Cicadas-R-Scott-Frothingham-ebook/dp/B00CV8HTP8 “Cooking with Cicadas is a great, light-hearted gift item”... and beyond the novelty aspect, this fun cook book includes legitimate recipes for those adventurous souls who want to include "less than typical" ingredient in their diet. This guide focuses on preparing cicadas for snacks, meals and desserts. High in protein and low in fat, this insect is featured in a variety of recipes from Italian to Moroccan and Asian to Mexican. Dishes like Cicada Frittata, Pasta a la Cicada, Cicada Curry, Cicada Tacos, Cicada Pad Thai and Caramel Cicada Crunch.
I have found a few fungus infected cicadas from brood ten here in Ohio. I saw on the website, that one researcher is looking for examples so I emailed him.
Chris Zeek me to id get a huge chorus of them and put them in a chair to play music for them, i figured i was returning the favor for them. i loved to let them crawl on me :)
I have seen the cicadas emerge 2 times.I am not happy that they will be coming up again.I saw one laying on my sidewalk a couple weeks ago in the early morning.I was surprised to see one already.
The "Bug-Guys" need to stop confusing the public. I see them and hear them emerge every year. People should know that Cicadas emerge every Spring all over the world and lay their eggs every year. Yes those that emerge are still ones that hatched from eggs laid 13yrs or 17yrs ago. Some years more adults survived and more eggs were laid than other years. There's nothing mysterious about it. Think of it as Humans and Baby-Boomer eras due to an extremely bad Winter cycles or the 2020 Lockdowns that kept bored couples together for extended periods of time and will produce a Baby-Boom. 😆 😆
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT There are annual cicadas and periodical cicadas. Annual cicadas--guess what? They are annual. Periodical cicadas in the U.S. emerge on a 13-year or 17-year schedule. Sometimes a few are early or late by a year or so. Tell me what makes this confusing to "the public"?
@@robertburgett9592 You really have to ask? LOL!! It's the over-exaggerated excitement displayed for the SAME species of Cicadas that appear every year.

I have to explain that there's no "special" species that's just gonna pop up like relatives that ya only see once in 13 or 17yrs. If you can't understand that (and yes the stupid over-excitement was a huge BUST, AGAIN this year), then you're obviously educated far beyond your own intelligence.
@@MAGGOT_VOMIT you’re wrong. Magicicada septendecim (the 17 year cicada) are a different Genus & Species than the annual groups that appear. Same family but enough key characteristic differences that you can’t just say they are the same.

In 2004 when they emerged I had to make a delivery way out in the country. When I pulled up to their home, I honestly thought there was HEAVY CONSTRUCTION going on it the woods next to their house. When I got out of my car, the ground was moving and their house was completely encrusted with them. So creepy I couldn't drive fast enough to get out of there. I have never heard anything that loud.
Wow great video. Very informative. I came here because I was curious about their function in nature. I think they are a bit like worms. Cicada mania! I love it 😂💗
Sorry for this apparently silly question, but periodical cicadas appear after 17 years only (I mean, during a row of 16 years there is not any periodical cicada flying) or every year there is a group of periodical cicadas that finish the "resting" period of 17 years? May someone reply to me? I'm well aware that other non-periodical species appear every year. If you visit Greece during Summer, in some places, and owing to the sound "pollution", you cannot hear your friends talk to each other. And more, if you try to speak somewhat loudly, the cicadas also increase the tone of "pollution" - Yes, they are really very rude insects...!!! Again, if you known how to clear my doubt, please do! Thank you.
I had to catch 8 just so I could get my granddaughter to see that they don't care, they do care but not the way she was thinking. I got one to hold one dead but had to get them to see that life is a must for the eco system. They mind their own business then I proceed to walk towards the forest they were in all over the trees and ground. My grandkids safely away in the Bay windows like waiting for be to disappear 😂😂 Overwhelming but delightful. I tried to take my younger daughter with me so she could see to come but mommy said no. They literally walked around me and over top my boots. I grew up on farmland next to the woods so I have plenty stories. Love the noise at night
2021 June - THEY'RE HERE in Northern VA!!! And THEY'RE NOT SLEEPING!! They're sneaky, too - they can land on you and you won't even feel them...until they crawl onto your neck...! That was interesting & love the dry humor. I didn't know it was only the males that did the singing. Now, I'll be on the lookout for trees with brown leaves. You should get together with ZeFrank and do a "True Facts About the Cicada" (and of course, one of them has to be named "David").
poor things are prone to be getting eaten. In Pueblo Co they were huge and they were hanging out at a entrance of a stuco wall, then kids took joy in throwing a basketball ball or two. To see who can smash one 3 in a single shot. They are strange but harmless and they are some what adorable
@@SmokeAndChillAndromeda8 They certainly are adorable. I call them the owls of insects. Other than there awful and ear shattering sound, they're right up there with praying mantises to me.
The females damage the soft tips of the tree. It is a nest for the eggs. The eggs hatch and the larvae burrow into the stem. It will travel through the inside of the tree until it exists the roots underground. Another fun fact, moles love to eat cicada larvae underground.
Be careful this fall we will have a massive influx of rabies due to the plentiful year they will have more offspring which will ultimately lead to an influx of rabies, because every rabies carrier will have more baby's this year.
I have a bad phobia of most bugs especially cicadas, Ive never experienced this before but all the videos of them creep me out..Is their a smell they don't like. like peppermint?? someone suggested Sevin insecticide, but I heard that product harms the bees. I also considered spraying vinegar or ammonia everywhere...I haven't done any of these things and I live near a lot of trees..any advice? I'm scared they will get inside my house or garage.
Cicada is a telepathic ability where you can use your Doula oblongata or your third eye to talk to people. Next cicada challenge get is close to Area 51 as you can we're going to actually take the ball of energy right off of Area 51
@@CicadaMania its actually funny... each year all the birds like Magpies etc early on devour the loud bastards... but after a few weeks they are so over them they avoid them like the plague. I rmbr in 5th class you could jump up in the air and catch x2 Green grocers mating on the wing in mid air.
ewwwww i would never eat them. That was interesting that they have the mercery in them, probably other stuff in them from the ground too from all these years.
Update: Cacadas still live! ..kinda.. Walked out side house here and sat down.. one was dinging hitting objects out side like a junebug champion.. after two failed attempts of flying the 1st one being a head slam into a bed room window and the 2nd one a hard hitting face plant to ground landing off of a clay plant pot ..it turned towards me and walked a lil forward about two feet away givin me a death stair like hey im about to fly right at your face i stood up n walked out of that intense situation before it did so and in my hasteful retreat stepped on another cacada bare foot which was probably just watching the show man it def let out a cacada death song that lasted like 7 seconds before passing rip lil dude ..
So cicadas lay eggs in trees and then they emerge from the ground and become adults. I'm gonna assume they just fall out of the trees and dig into the ground. I dont think u mentioned it.
I think, thanks to you, I am getting this worked out in my head. Tell me if I am wrong anyone as this took a minute to work out. The cicadas take 17 or 13 years to reach adulthood and they come up in broods 17 and 13 years old respectively every few years but each brood is numbered to indicate when they were born and went to ground. Is that it? As for the cicada wee, its kids found that out because little kids put everything in their mouths and I hazard a guess that thats how you know what car trees taste like?
I live up north in the US, and I have cicadas that arrive just about every year. They are black, and have very high pitched buzzing sounds. What kind are they? Would they drill me if I bugged them?
Small mammals will use them for nest materials. Scientists are also using them as a carbon source for supercapacitors. "Oxygen/phosphorus co-doped porous carbon from cicada slough as high-performance electrode material for supercapacitors. Authors: Bingwei Chen, Wenzhuo Wu, Chunyang Li, Yanfang Wang, Yi Zhang, Lijun Fu, Yusong Zhu, Lixin Zhang & Yuping Wu"
Yes and they are bearing a W which is often meaning of a war.I personally thing its a W cause were fighting a war or sort of a war.Terrorists in my book can't be classified to have real war.
It is. Some other broods experience 13 year cycles, and other species of cicadas have 2-19 year cycles but the Brood V cicadas in Ohio/WV/Pensy/Virginia have a 17 year cycle.
For Magicicada it's an amphetamine, so stimulant, not a psychedelic. Magicicadas get infected by "Massospora cicadina". Other cicadas get infected by Massospora platypediae or Massospora levispora, which does produce a psychedelic (tryptamine, psilocybin). Here's the abstract from the paper: "Entomopathogenic fungi routinely kill their hosts before releasing infectious spores, but a few species keep insects alive while sporulating, which enhances dispersal. Transcriptomics- and metabolomics-based studies of entomopathogens with post-mortem dissemination from their parasitized hosts have unraveled infection processes and host responses. However, the mechanisms underlying active spore transmission by Entomophthoralean fungi in living insects remain elusive. Here we report the discovery, through metabolomics, of the plant-associated amphetamine, cathinone, in four Massospora cicadina-infected periodical cicada populations, and the mushroom-associated tryptamine, psilocybin, in annual cicadas infected with Massospora platypediae or Massospora levispora, which likely represent a single fungal species. The absence of some fungal enzymes necessary for cathinone and psilocybin biosynthesis along with the inability to detect intermediate metabolites or gene orthologs are consistent with possibly novel biosynthesis pathways in Massospora. The neurogenic activities of these compounds suggest the extended phenotype of Massospora that modifies cicada behavior to maximize dissemination is chemically-induced." www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6876628/
No, but if the 17-year and 13-year types mate, in the areas where the brood overlaps, their offspring will either be 13 or 17 year. No telling which life-span length they'll end up with, but probably 13.
What about snipping their proboscis' with scissors; can they grow that back out? Not implying I'd ever do that (absolutely not), but just curious if it does get, say, snapped off. Suppose they just die.

No, but if the 17-year and 13-year types mate, in the areas where the brood overlaps, their offspring will either be 13 or 17 year. No telling which life-span length they'll end up with, but probably 13.
Amazing, thank you.

What about snipping their proboscis' with scissors; can they grow that back out? Not implying I'd ever do that (absolutely not), but just curious if it does get, say, snapped off. Suppose they just die.
It won't grow back. :)
So cicadas help us from consuming the Mercury from the earth to keep us human beings healthy,thank you CICADA we need you.

I made a video on cicadas and now I'm going down the rabbit hole.
