A friend from Park Ridge, Illinois sent this image for my 4-H group in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This is her first attempt at entomological photography. She also collected two each for my kids. Neat stuff !

This species of Cicada is highly rare to be found like this they have a life cycle of 17 years this should be left alone, not in hands of children.

Collection of Specimens
Kiarash,

The collection of specimens is certainly a large and important debate. Clearly, we disagree on the value of collecting; especially for children; particularly when hundreds of millions Magicicada cassini emerged during this brood of which the vast majority wound up as food. While I respect your opinion, your use of the term 'foolish' is ill advised. It is not a term in keeping with the spirit of this site.

Yours Truly,

Karl

Attribution
Please put the name of the person who took the images in the "Copyright Owner" field for each. While she probably isn't about to sue anyone over this, it's a good idea to be consistent and do it right whenever possible.

Thanks!
