–Dr. Robert Bauernfeind
The past two weeks have been filled with reports regarding the wide spread occurrence of 17-year periodical cicadas (refer back to Issues #4 and #7 of the 2015 Kansas Insect Newsletter for basic background information on periodical cicadas). I am appreciative of those individuals who responded to my request for information/reports/observations of periodical activities in their respective counties, and super-appreciative for specimens submitted to me as well as photographic images. For the remainder of my inclusions in this week’s Issue #8 of the KIN, I am including several images of periodical cicadas.
