Magicicada Septendecim Male Distress Call
The term periodical cicada is commonly used to refer to any of the seven species of the genus ''Magicicada'' of eastern North America, the 13- and 17-year cicadas. They are called periodical because nearly all individuals in a local population are developmentally synchronized and emerge in the same year. Although they are sometimes called "locusts", this is a misnomer, as cicadas belong to the taxonomic order Hemiptera (true bugs), suborder Auchenorrhyncha, while locusts are grasshoppers belonging to the order Orthoptera. ''Magicicada'' belongs to the cicada tribe Lamotialnini, a group of genera with representatives in Australia, Africa, and Asia, as well as the Americas. ''Magicicada'' species spend around 99.5% of their long lives underground in an immature state called a nymph. While underground, the nymphs feed on xylem fluids from the roots of broadleaf forest trees in the eastern United States. In the spring of their 13th or 17th'' ''year, mature cicada nymphs emerge b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Magicicada Septendecim
''Magicicada septendecim'', sometimes called the Pharaoh cicada or the 17-year locust, is native to Canada and the United States and is the largest and most northern species of periodical cicada with a 17-year lifecycle. Description Like other species included in ''Magicicada'', the insect's eyes and wing veins are reddish and its dorsal thorax is black; it is distinguished by broad orange stripes on the underside of the abdomen and orange patches on the sides of the thorax between the eye and the forewings. Its mating call is a high-pitched song said to resemble someone calling "weeeee-whoa" or "Pharaoh", features it shares with the newly discovered 13-year species '' Magicicada neotredecim''. Because of similarities between ''M. septendecim'' and the two closely related 13-year species ''M. neotredecim'' and '' M. tredecim'', the three species are often described together as "decim periodical cicadas."

Genera
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. '' Panthera leo'' (lion) and '' Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus '' Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. phylogenetic analysis should clearly demonstrate both monophyly and validity as a separate lineag ...

Proboscis
A proboscis () is an elongated appendage from the head of an animal, either a vertebrate or an invertebrate. In invertebrates, the term usually refers to tubular arthropod mouthparts, mouthparts used for feeding and sucking. In vertebrates, a proboscis is an elongated nose or snout. Etymology First attested in English in 1609 from Latin , the latinisation (literature), latinisation of the Ancient Greek (), which comes from () 'forth, forward, before' + (), 'to feed, to nourish'. The plural as derived from the Greek is , but in English the plural form ''proboscises'' occurs frequently. Invertebrates The most common usage is to refer to the tubular feeding and sucking organ of certain invertebrates such as insects (e.g., Insect mouthparts#Proboscis, moths, butterflies, and mosquitoes), worms (including Acanthocephala, Nemertea, proboscis worms) and gastropod molluscs. Acanthocephala The Acanthocephala, the thorny-headed worms or spiny-headed worms, are characterized by the pr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cassini Periodical Cicadas
The Cassini periodical cicadas are a pair of closely related species of periodical cicadas: ''Magicicada cassini'' (Fisher, 1852), having a 17-year life cycle, and ''Magicicada tredecassini'' (Alexander and Moore, 1962), a nearly identical species with a 13-year life cycle. Courting behavior of Cassini cicadas is unusual because large groups of males may sing and fly together in synchronization, synchrony. Bursts of sound alternate with silence as thousands of males sing in Unison#.22In_unison.22, unison, then leave perches and seek a new perch before the next ensemble song. Description All ''Magicicada'' species have a black dorsal thorax with red eyes and orange wing veins. Cassini periodical cicadas are smaller than decim periodical cicadas. The abdomen is black except for occasional faint orange-yellow marks on the ventral surface seen in some location. In a typical brood of periodical cicadas, decim periodical cicadas, decim and decula periodical cicadas, decula types will ...

Decim Periodical Cicadas
Decim periodical cicadas is a term used to group three closely related species of periodical cicadas: ''Magicicada septendecim'', ''Magicicada tredecim'', and ''Magicicada neotredecim''. ''M. septendecim'', Species description, first described by Carl Linnaeus, has a 17-year life cycle; the name ''septendecim'' is Latin for 17. ''M. tredecim'', first described in 1868, has a similar call and appearance but a 13-year life cycle; ''tredecim'' is Latin for 13. ''M. neotredecim'' (Latin for "new 13"), first described in 2000 by Marshall and Cooley in an article in the journal ''Evolution'', is a 13-year species but otherwise much more similar to ''M. septendecim'' than to ''M. tredecim'' as shown by studies of DNA and abdominal color variation by Chris Simon (biologist), Chris Simon and colleagues in a companion article in the same journal issue. Description Like other species included in ''Magicicada'', decim periodical cicadas have synchronized development with a long larval period un ...

Simple Eye In Invertebrates
A simple eye or ocellus (sometimes called a pigment pit) is a form of eye or an optical arrangement which has a single lens without the sort of elaborate retina that occurs in most vertebrates. These eyes are called "simple" to distinguish them from " compound eyes", which have multiple lenses. They are not necessarily simple in the sense of being uncomplicated or basic. The structure of an animal's eye is determined by the environment in which it lives, and the behavioural tasks it must fulfill to survive. Arthropods differ widely in the habitats in which they live, as well as their visual requirements for finding food or conspecifics, and avoiding predators. Consequently, an enormous variety of eye types are found in arthropods to overcome visual problems or limitations. Use of the term ''simple eye'' is flexible, and must be interpreted in proper context; for example, the eyes of most large animals are '' camera eyes'' and are sometimes considered "simple" because a sing ...

Imago
In biology, the imago (Latin for "image") is the last stage an insect attains during its metamorphosis, its process of growth and development; it is also called the ''imaginal'' stage ("imaginal" being "imago" in adjective form), the stage in which the insect attains maturity. It follows the final ecdysis of the immature instars. In a member of the Ametabola or Hemimetabola, species in which metamorphosis is "incomplete", the final ecdysis follows the last immature or '' nymphal'' stage. In members of the Holometabola, in which there is a pupal stage, the final ecdysis follows emergence from the pupa A pupa (; : pupae) is the life stage of some insects undergoing transformation between immature and mature stages. Insects that go through a pupal stage are holometabolous: they go through four distinct stages in their life cycle, the stages th ..., after which the metamorphosis is complete, although there is a prolonged period of maturation in some species. The imago is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
