Insects become larvae or adults from puppies is called emergence. There are two types of insects: larvae, sanagi, and insects that become adults, and larvae directly become adults. Cicada is an insect that turns from larvae to adult instead of puddlings. Cicada larvae grow in the ground. The emergence of the larva comes out of the soil, climbs the tree, removes the larva shell, and becomes an adult insect, that is, an adult, is called emergence.

Take off the shell of the larvae and become an adult insect. That's the difference.

As everyone knows, cicada is not a rare insect. In summer, you can hear squeals from nowhere. Sometimes combined with the summer heat, it doubles the heat. Cicadas are everywhere. However, I don't think there are so many people who have actually seen cicada larvae or emergence. Cicada larvae grow in the soil, so it is not usually seen except just before emergence, and emergence is performed after the sun goes down, so if you are not very conscious, you will not catch your eyes I think it's because.
So, it is not necessary to think hard about where the emergence can actually be seen. You can watch it if you go to the park where Minmin and cicada are noisy. One of the guidelines is that there is a cicada shell. The fact that there is a cicada shell is also a reverse of the presence of cicada larvae underground. Hamacho Park is one of such parks.

The fact that there is a cicada shell means that there is a cicada larva there.

It is easy to observe the emergence of cicadas at dusk from late July to early August. In terms of time, it's about 21 o'clock from sunset. Hamacho Park is one of them where you can observe, but I think you can observe it in a park near your home. It's enough to have only a flashlight, but it's even better if you have a writing instrument or camera for recording. It's night, so be sure to go out with an adult. Take measures to prevent insect bites such as mosquitoes.
When you arrive at the park, first look for a tree with a hole with a larvae coming out at the base. Then turn the tree from bottom to top and illuminate it with a flashlight. That way, if you look carefully, you will find a white cicada that emerges behind the leaves. It may be a little hard until you find the first one. But I'll get some tips in it. Please do your best to find it.

Let's look for a tree with such a hole at the base.

This hole is a hole that came out of the larvae of the cicada.

Let's illuminate the tree from below with a flashlight.

If you look closely, you will find a white cicada that has emerged.

I'm very happy to find a cicada that has emerged. But don't catch it. Emerging is a life-threatening act for insects. There are many cicadas who have grown underground for years, but have failed to emerge or are attacked by natural enemies, and die without becoming an adult. So let's watch quietly without finding or touching.

Let's summarize what you see and feel in sentences. If you draw a picture or paste the picture you took, this alone will be a wonderful observation diary. In addition, it may be a good idea to go to the park during the day to find out what cicadas are there. Large cicada, small cicada, feather color, various squeals. There are a lot of cicadas. Let's spend this summer systematically so as not to struggle with free research.

However, it's summer vacation that I can't do that.

The wings of Abrazemi are brown. "Jijijijiji…」

The wings of minminminzemi are transparent. The squeal is "Menminminminminminminmy"
