Want
to get involved in some science? The Wildlife Conservation Society
wants you to help them track the 17-years-in-the-making emergence of
cicadas.
After spending 17 years underground, periodical cicada
nymphs emerge for a few short weeks of molting, mating and dying. After
this emergence we won't see this brood again until 2030. If you take a
photo of cicadas on Instagram, geo-tag the photo with
the hashtag #cicadasinmyhood. The WSC plans to collect and compile all
these photos to form an interactive map on its website, http://www.wcs.org/cicadas/.
For those who don't use Instagram, you can help the WCS in other ways.
You can report sightings at magicicada.org. Another project, Urban Buzz,
is looking to receive cicada samples to track body irregularities. Get
involved in documenting this brood's emergence!
