GOOD MORNING TO THE SON AND THE SKY❕👋🏼

CIGARRA / CIGALE = “CICADA” IN SPANISH 🇲🇽 / FRENCH 🇫🇷

I LOVE YOU 💓

Howl you doing❓

I hope everything is GREAT with you and at home 🥰

Today, for you, I have a post about Cicadas.

It is actually the 21st of Aug and today the Cicadas are singing.

I have walked by many making noise and one on the sidewalk just chillin’.

If I see another one I will take a photo but for now here are some interesting facts about Cicadas:
• 🪲 Very long life cycles: Some cicadas spend 13 or 17 years underground as nymphs before emerging as adults. These are called periodical cicadas (found mostly in the U.S.).
• 🕰️ Synchronized emergence: When they finally emerge, millions appear all at once, overwhelming predators with sheer numbers — this is called predator satiation.
• 🎶 Super loud singers: Male cicadas produce mating calls that can reach 100+ decibels, about as loud as a chainsaw. They use special organs called tymbals to create the sound.
• 🌳 Sap drinkers: Cicadas don’t eat solid food; they feed on the sap of trees and plants using straw-like mouthparts.
• 🪦 Short adult lives: After years underground, adults usually live only a few weeks, just long enough to mate and lay eggs.
• 🌍 Worldwide distribution: Cicadas live on every continent except Antarctica.
• 👶 Egg-laying: Females lay eggs inside small slits they cut into tree branches. When the young hatch, they drop to the ground and burrow into the soil.
• 🔄 Annual vs. periodical cicadas: Many species emerge every year (annual cicadas), while only a few species have the dramatic 13- or 17-year cycles.
• 🧪 Cicada shells: The empty exoskeletons left behind after molting are called exuviae — you often see them clinging to trees or fences.
• 🎨 Symbolism: In many cultures (especially in Asia), cicadas symbolize rebirth, immortality, or transformation because of their dramatic emergence from earth.

You have likely heard a Cicada but have you ever seen a Cicada?

THIS DAY IN HISTORY: AUG 20 1975 Viking 1 was launched by NASA to Mars and would later provide the first detailed images of Mar’s surface.
