The Magical Periodic Cicada

Hey Everyone!  I  know we've done a podcast on cicadas earlier, but I couldn't help myself, I had to focus on the magical periodic cicadas.  I'm flying solo for this episode, so join me on the back porch "studio" for a "magical" episode.  The 13 year cicadas are emerging and making a lot of noise, so tune in and learn about these amazing arthropods and what is the reason behind such a weird life cycle and just how much we still have to learn from these insects.

Here's some more information about these unique insects:
