Pharaoh Cicada | Cicadas | Locusts #shorts #cicada #locust #cutecritters #bytesizeambs #truebug

I've been so excited about posting this YouTube short. The Pharaoh Cicadas (17 Year Locusts) are out! It is so amazing to watch them molt and just be.

NOTE: Video quality is better when watched via YouTube. Info on Pharaoh Cicadas in the description of this YouTube short.

EDIT: Since YouTube has decided to keep deleting the description on this one video, I'm posting it below.

We were fortunate enough to see several Pharaoh Cicadas (17 Year Locusts) molting last week. It was amazing to see and I was able to get one on video for this short.

Pharaoh Cicada (Magicicada septendecim)

The majority of the life of Magicicada septendecim is spent in an underground or subterranean habitat. The area in which a periodical cicada brood is located must contain a large population of deciduous trees, on whose roots the cicadas feed during the underground nymph stages. The trees are also necesary for the molt into adulthood, choruses, and egg-laying (Boyer 1996). (iNaturalist)

Habitat Regions: temperate ; terrestrial

Terrestrial Biomes: forest

Other Habitat Features: suburban

Cicadas can provide several environmental benefits, including:

Food source for predators: Cicadas are a valuable food source for birds, reptiles, insects, and mammals

Soil improvement: Cicada tunnels aerate the soil, and their decomposition adds nutrients to the soil

Tree pruning: Cicadas prune mature trees, which can lead to increased flowering and fruit production in the following year

Water filtration: Cicadas improve water filtration into the ground

These little roly poly guys (or pill bugs) seem to enjoy a mossy area in the corner of our garden in spring and summer. It's fascinating to watch them.

Meet Bevy!! She's our newest addition to our family. She is so sweet and cuddly. She loves her squeaker toys and she loves to learn new tricks! We got her when she was just under 3 months old in mid December. She's already grown to almost as big as Carlee now! #meetnewpuppy #cutepuppy #bytesizeambs #happypuppy #loulouambrosia #sweetpuppy #amberlou #sweetpuppyface https://www.instagram.com/p/CnuLtf4OcU5HhnFcBgBczut9SjoyJMZ7a8jOhM0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Found this crazy but cool looking Blister Beetle (American Oil Beetle) a few nights ago. They're poisonous to the touch due to the oils they put off when they feel threatened.
