to be held accountable for the mis-
chief. However, investigation proves
that the cicada is able to infiict q
bite with lis jaws, and possibly il
does so sometimes.
One point for which the cicada is
remarkable is its cry. 1t is a loud,
shrill screech, prolonged for about
fifteen or twenty seconds, gradually
increasing in force and then de-
creasing- Only the male makes
this noise; the female is dumb. An
ancient Greek poet, recognizing
this fact in natural history, has
sung:
Envy the cicada their peaceful lives,
Who have the happiness of voiceless
wives.
The male has at the base of its
abdomen two pieces of thin MEM
brane, each of them free at one
edge. BY their rapid vibration the
sound is produced. 1t is love
note. The attentive observer may
watch the newfiedged cicada as he
sits on twig and utters an amor
GUS serenade- Presently the female
attracted by the music, comes and
perches beside him.
