To climb trees, #cicadas look to the shadows
A shadow-sensing skill known as skototaxis helps cicadas find trees to molt on
Across dozens of recorded trajectories, the insects deviated only slightly from the most direct route. This hinges on the cicadas’ ability to detect dark shapes against paler backgrounds in the dim evening light. That cue guides the nymphs to the vertical surfaces they must climb to become winged adults.

We apologize for the 2 technical difficulties that we had over the course of our 24 hour Indigenous Gulf Stream that interrupted the visions of two of our amazing artists. We have suspicions around why this has happened... We have early premiered their videos on our YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/@bvlbanchapublicaccess

I’m gonna startup a Cicada Matchmaking service. Helping these loud male cicadas find a female partner so they’ll shut up and I can enjoy my home with the windows down
They are so big and ugly… I kinda feel bad for them 😂

Cicadas are the sound of Greek summer - but few people know what they look like.
However, once you know what to look for, you spot them everywhere. 🤭

"help, it's so hot I can't figure out how to go in the open door"
Also, if you're not familiar with what summer sounds like in the Midwest, feel free to click the video and hear #cicadas screaming for a mate.

Treehoppers' spectacular headgear is both an electrical warning system and a bioelectric cloak https://phys.org/news/2025-07-treehoppers-spectacular-headgear-spidey-electrical.html paper: https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.2505253122
"#Treehoppers, related to #cicadas, are notable for their strikingly massive, otherworldly pronotum that can resemble horns, spikes, parts of plants, etc... the electric fields detected around the most protruding portions were 50x stronger than the baseline... the helmet-like morphology decreased detectability to any electroreceptive predators"
