It's happened again! Another freak of nature Cicada thats appeared in the wrong season. Lots of similarities to last years Cicada and they are explained in the video. I'm hoping that someone who knows their insects can explain why this happens. The only weird thing has been a very long hot Summer season that was very similar to last Summer. Anyway I regard this as something special and thats why I am showing it.
Like last years Cicada she has emerged and there are no other Cicadas to mate with so she's all alone. If this Cicada was up in the Northern Hemisphere which is having it's summer very soon this Cicada would seem like a very normal event. But why has nature got it so wrong again. What has triggered this Cicada to be 6 months out of her natural cycle. Is it Global Warming, Donald Trump or is this Cicada just a very late bloomer.
The cicadas are a superfamily, the Cicadoidea, of insects in the order Hemiptera (true bugs). They are in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha,[a] along with smaller jumping bugs such as leafhoppers and froghoppers. It is divided into the Tettigarctidae, with two species in Australia, and Cicadidae, with more than 1,300 species described from around the world; many undescribed species remain. Cicadas have prominent eyes set wide apart, short antennae, and membranous front wings. They have an exceptionally loud song, produced not by stridulation, but by vibrating drumlike tymbals rapidly. The earliest known fossil Cicadomorpha appeared in the Upper Permian period; extant species occur all around the world in temperate to tropical climates. They typically live in trees, feeding on sap, and laying their eggs in a slit in the bark. Most cicadas are cryptic, singing at night to avoid predators. The periodic cicadas spend most of their lives as underground nymphs, emerging only after 7, 13 or 17 years, which may reduce losses by starving their predators and eventually emerging in huge numbers which overwhelm and satiate any remaining predators. There are still many mysteries surrounding the Cicada life cycle.
I also speak about the stupid demonetisation crisis thats gripped YouTube producers. It's basically two steps backwards, one step forwards. Still LOTS of repair needed to get producers feeling like it's worth making videos for YouTube.
