A MARVEL is THIS INSECT
Spend Years of Their Existence
Underground.

The life story of the II year locust,
or properly speaking the Cicada, is
without doubt, one of the most re-
markable of insect marvels. The ia
nous brood % appeared in the sum-
mer of 1902. 1t extended over ter
ritory from Long Island west to Wis
consin and south to Georgia No
harm is done by these insects, except
that the females lay their eggs in
punches in the soft twigs of trees.
But it does not hurt a tree to lose
goodly number of its twigs once in
II years. The next visitation of
these insects is due in 1919.
1t is interesting to note that brood
% has generation of youngsters de-
veloping right under our feet. They
are seven years old this year and
have 10 years yet to grow before they
come to light as winged adult insects.
The life story of a generation be-
gins when the females flock to the
treetops and lay their eggs masses in
the twigs. In few weeks the eggs
hatch and the fat, ant-like larvae
wriggle and fall to the ground. I'm
mediately they burrow below the
surface and establish themselves
each alone in a little chamber near
the root of some plant.
In the years of inactive life that
follow the insects feed upon humus-
possibly also on sap from rootlets.
The front legs are developed into
tools like cutting jaws for burrowing
and getting food.
