Go here to read our blog about periodical cicadas. It has information, updates, commentary, and links to cicada resources on the Web from the spring and early summer of 2007. Go here to see photo stories about our 2007 Periodical Cicada Hunt. Go here to see lists of things we wanted to do during the "Year of the Cicada." This page includes a list of websites where you can report your own cicada finds. Are your kids afraid of bugs? Then here are some resources that may be of help. Science doesn’t have to be a spectator sport! Citizen-science projects let ordinary folks do science in the big leagues, managed by the pros. Go here to read about some Cicada Citizen-Science projects in the Chicago area during 2007. Speaking of stories, go here to read our story about a time when periodical cicadas came to our area "four years early." We also posted several pages with
information about local cicada events and news in spring and early summer, 2007. We have also been following a different kind of story, about how visits to this website change with the years and the seasons. As cicadas and their predators emerge, do their thing, and die, so do visits to these pages ebb and flow. Go here to read about it. We also link to many other Periodical
Cicada resources in
the menu on the left side of each page. |
