Cicada Invasions with Dr. Floyd Shockley

Right here in the United States, primarily in the Midwest and Southern portion an invasion is coming. Not of aliens, of cicadas. Brood 19 and 13 have begun emerging and they haven't come out of the ground together in 221 years! Even though I recorded this episode in 2021 during Brood 10's emergence, it's worth rebooting because periodical cicadas are unique to the U.S.
The guest is entomologist Dr. Floyd Shockley, who is the Collections Manager for the Department of Entomology at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History. Him and I talked all about these true bugs and the importance of museum collections. You can follow him on Twitter @Beetle_Guy
And you can connect with the museum @NMNH
If you want to hear one of the seven species of cicadas sing their love song check out this link.
One of many cookbooks is the Cicada Cookbook and you can find it on Amazon.
