Periodical Cicada, Also Known as "Seventeen Year Locust," Due to Appear This Summer
The Periodical Clcada, sometimes erroneously called the seventeen-year "occlud," are due to appear in Kansas again this summer, according to Dr. H. B. Hungerford, state entomologist for the southern half of the state, and Mr. James Fischer, a smaller than the more common clcada, or about the size of a common June bug, and is black and orange in color. Its wings are lacy, and nearly twice as long as the body. Twenty-six species of clcadas are found in Kansas, and all of them require several years to complete their broods for nearly every year, they have attracted very little attention.
The term "loeus" is a misnomer, for these insects are not locusts. The term "loeus" properly applies to grasshoppers. Cleadas are not grass-hoppers, but are clear-winged, suckermites that eat leaves and produce "harvest files." The parents of the brood that appears this year were in flight in Kansas in 1910.
Kansas is visited by two broods of the seventeen-year ceanidra. The other brood appeared in 1913 and is due to appear again in 1930. This species is remarkable for the long time required for it to reach maturity.
The females make a series of slits in the twigs of various trees into which the eggs are placed. Sometimes these cicadas occur in such great numbers that they seriously injure themselves, and the twigs and smaller branches. The nymphs hatch in about six weeks. They soon drop to the ground where

they bury themselves. There they obtain nibrush by sucking the juices from the roots of the trees and then feeding them to the seventeenth year following.
A short time before the insects leave the ground they build earthen chimneys. There is some question as to why these chimneys in Kansas and any observations on their behavior in this region will be affected by the underground soil.
The young cicadas or nymphs, a they are called, emerge from the ground during the last of May may the first of June at which time the empty pupal skins may be found in great numbers clinging to the bark of trees. In this time that the cicadas attract attention by the shrill cries of the males. The insects soon mate, the females lay their eggs and all disappear in a few weeks, not to reappear as a brood for seventeen years. A few individuals may appear the year before and the year following the main emergence. This past season were collected by Professor Reamer.
Prof. R, H. Heamer of the University is a specialist in the Cicadidae and would greatly appreciate receiving specimens from all localities, as well as those sentencing in material. He is especially anxious to know the distribution of the periodical claudia in Kansas. This brood has been recorded from only two Kansas counties, Leavenworth and Lincoln, with a much more general distribution.
