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=q4rG0u…
Also please photograph dug-up nymphs and later the newly emerged adults from the same ground for iNaturalist or CicadaSafari!!!

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.
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
Just released today from sciencepodcastforkids.com answers to some questions about this year’s joint emergence of periodical cicada Broods XIX and XIII. Listen on Tumble's website: sciencepodcastforkids.com/podcast Pod.link and pod.link/984771479

Asperitas are ominous-looking clouds occurring mostly with Stratocumulus and Altocumulus. These ones have been photographed over Gorham, New Hampshire on April 23, 2023 [📷 Crystal Lee]

Today’s Daily Jelly is a pink & purple root-mouth jelly topped by a baby paper nautilus octopus. These babies ride jellies, using them for transportation, protection, and may occasionally nibble the jelly’s food. Giddy up little octo! 📸 Songda Cai #dailyjelly #inc3

RIP Megatibicen grossus/auletes.

These are soft crystalline seashells. These beautiful shells come from the mysterious open-ocean Corolla snails, which sail through the water using butterfly-like wings. Because Corolla snails live far from shore, crystal shells are extremely rare. 📷 @inaturalist

Check out this amazing deep-sea squid worm spotted yesterday by @SchmidtOcean. These incredible open-ocean worms spend their life in the immense water column, paddling through the water using golden whisker-like bristled called chaetae. They’re just stunning.

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). academic.oup.com/mbe/article/24…

The net was given to me by Jin Yoshimura, emeritus professor at Shizuoka University in Japan. He probably purchased it in Japan.
