YOU are a scientist!!

I recently came across this post about a Lanternfly found in Borneo.


Could YOU be the first person to identify what the species of fly is actually is?

I have another one for you...every 3 years there is a massive reproduction of a bug that makes a shrill sound and is extremely loud...can you guess what bug this is? CICADA! As a child, you might have searched the trunks of trees to find Cicada shells. I once worked at a day care and the young kids loved to bring these shells to me, ew. Let's get one thing straight, I LOVE biology and nature, that does not mean I have to like bugs.

The size of a man's hand!

Anyway, have you ever wondered why these Cicada shells are on the trunks of trees? Take a look at this website to learn more about Cicadas and why they do, what they do! After, jump to this page and see the largest Cicada I've ever seen! EW!
