What on earth is screaming from the trees all summer long? It's a bird...it's a plane...no, it's a big old insect that spends most of its life underground. That's right: it's a cicada!
In this episode of Notes From the Field, Jessie explores Granite Creek Park in Prescott, AZ to catch insects and share some knowledge about their evolution, life history, and general vibe. Did you know, for instance, that cicadas don't make noise with their mouthparts, but through vibrating membranes in their abdomen called tymbals?
Bonus nature experience: in the middle of her hunt, Jessie encounters another cool invertebrate -- a snail!
