the who's why? years ago? very rude. previous to the 1015 right now, the children, the offspring of these acadias are crawling on me. there are more than $3000.00 species periodicals to kate is worldwide. they're found on every continent. 1 except in article, but it's only here in the eastern half the united states that we have 17 and 13 year periodical, kate, as part of what makes this so special, is this particular breed which we call breed 10 or brewed act, which makes it ever much more mysterious x marks the spot. this is the most widely

distributed brood of 17 years. the kate is found anywhere on planet earth, all the way from georgia to long island, new york, and west ohio, illinois and indiana. this means that in the eastern half of the united states, we're going to have billions, if not trillions of periodical cicada is interacting with tens of millions of human beings in their back yard. that's going to create some very interesting situation. oh i my name is melissa rose. i'm an artist based off of long island, new york. and right now we're in south new york, right. my grandparents old house. this place from my childhood where i used to run around,

pick up the rocks outside with my grandma and find bugs and watch the cicadas emerge. and it all really impacted me. and i didn't really realize until i ended up going to art school and pursuing my passion in bio art, which is what i consider myself. i'm a bio artist. i are all this is my very 1st by alter that i made, i have a few skaters that are show you some this piece that i use and both of them were found on shelter with my father. and he took me to the nature preserve that he was working at a lot of the things that have inspired me have been the symbology within the in fact that i have found throughout my life time in my childhood that i held onto. and for a while, i kept them in these little boxes in my room, and i was not sure what to do with them until one day dawned upon me to make

a place of worship for them. and some more where i can honor them for naturalists than children's mcarthur. and i live right here in chestnut hill and northwest part of philadelphia. so this is my latest coming. envision of the periodicals because i keep the rock creek park to look for the campus. and i think i'm here a little bit early. but right now i'm looking for nymphs, which are underground and spend their time sitting on the tree roots. and then in the spring, they build a little time going up to the surface. often that title hit the bottom a log and you can find the cicada right there at the bottom. the log is

neighborhood like this one in rockville with great place to find cicadas to see the old trees. and the lawn means this area hasn't been served for a long time, at least not completely disturbed. look at this. wow. there's a tunnel. 12345 tunnels under here, they're ready to emerge as soon as the conditions are right. and those conditions include the $64.00 degree foil temperature. after a good rainstorm, when the soil reach that temperature will come out by the 1000000. this is my very 1st sketchbook that really started off my interest with fatigue, others and there symbology. throughout my art this, the cato waiting, i actually found in the greek mountains. and that was the 1st cicada i ever saw. and it really sparked a lot of inspiration, multiple setting of the shell of the cicada symbolizes the many stages of transformation required of

a person before all illusions has been broken and one reaches enlightenment. in japanese culture, the cicada is seen as a symbol of reincarnation. so they're constantly shutting their skin and leaving behind nothing but empty show. they're also symbolizes as an answers to their short lifespan. i there's a place on long island, it's called wildwood state park, and that's where me and my friends used to go all the time. like growing up in high school and i found a bunch of cicadas there once, and there was a tree that i found and someone must put a saw in the tree. and it was just stuck like me and my friend trust and we're trying to pull it out. we couldn't pull it out. and unfortunately he passed away a few months later. and i remember i back to the tree. and there was

a cicada on the saw. and that's what i base one of my paintings on. i honestly felt like it was him coming to visit me. i really feel like it's all symbolic with each other because so many things in life are just like so ephemeral and they pass you by like the cicadas are and they live underground for like 13 to 18 years and they come up just for 3 weeks. and they buzz around and they sing their songs and they dance and dance, and then they kind of die. it can make you sad for me when i think about my friend, it just makes really happy because, sorry, he had a really good life even though is short and it reminds me a lot of the little gators when they thing their song, like i feel like he is like what that was really beautiful and yeah, actually i made a short film in my call 4 year college that highlighted on that and i

i made a piano so me, me . the i i me me, let me did you noisy

here, isn't it. ok, mike, my name is doug. i live in philadelphia and my favorite. my favorite insect is a month is what the 1st thing to know isn't cicadas are homeless and he's i should worry if they land on you or if they fly and you listen to me. ok. you went to timble. have a me. ok. and do you know how they make it? they vibrate it, right. they pop it in and out. this is what it looks like. i found a dead one and they cut it open. oh, these are the things your muscles. and they, they move really fast popping that this little draw it out. notice also that the key to this is a meal ticket is empty inside reason tempe, is it because it's like

a musical instrument, like a guitar. it has a space inside. it allows the sound to resonate, improves the sound and amplifies the sound so that the song carried farther. go once to the cicadas or up in the tree top. it's all going to be about romance. it's very much like human. once they get eyeball to eyeball, the males dictated, has to use his very best performance to try to convince that special someone that they show to hook up and she should be the mother of this name. he's going to use a variety of courtship songs and his performance has to be good because it's everybody know, it's always the females that get to choose. we think the one that sings the loudest, just like in the club, has the best performance. he may be the one that wins saying aloud singing long may when the heart of the female kid,

that's what he's hoping for. i hope in maryland right now, getting ready to go into the school and we traveled like 44 or 5 hours yesterday from long island. new york to come here and see all the 60. it is so magical. there's so many caters everywhere. flying around and hatching. and we saw them last night at the hotel just everywhere. yeah, i wasn't really, i wasn't sure how locals really react to this because oath by, oh, he just made the car locals are kind of like on like different ends of the spectrum . like there's like a whole festival for them over here. and a lot of people are excited. but even last i met a couple of people who didn't really like the cicada. there was one lady who said that she was absolutely hated them and she was scared of them. and they used to

find her hair when she was a little kid. so she just didn't have great memories of them. and i talked to her about my art, and i told her that i came here to see them. and she was like, completely shocked. but she actually really like my artwork and asked her my card and wanted me to design attach you for her. so it's just like really funny how all of that kind of comes full circle. because one of the main things with my work is the kind of get people to see the bugs. and like, this caters specifically right now, like in a different way and to accept their beauty, even if they don't really like how many there are. and if they don't like creepy crawly, and stuff like that, it actually hurts a little bit when they get on your neck. he how, who were in rockville, maryland. i came here to photograph the emergence of the cave in to see the math as the kid is here. this is like the center of root can emergent. fortunately, my cousin lives here. so i've got a place to stay me

i definitely feel the amaze for, but i was definitely feeling the amaze part with being overwhelmed by the creepiness. i was just feeling dread at everybody's person saying like they're coming, they're coming. or like showing picture that like one or 2 and just this is the beginning. i just sort of felt like very foreboding. and i didn't know what to expect. i think i'm trying to counteract that sense of dread by trying to find the sense of wonder and i want to be able to go outside every once. while i was afraid to think it is very kind a little bit that you are afraid of that much. when the girls named the mayor and

the president who are the same person right of the same cicada, they have named him dan. he really fell off. he does have, he has a injured wing and so they're tending to him by delivering burritos and cake with her grass and little roots wrapped up in a little other room in a nice package. and suzanne, still doing okay. they are really interesting and fun to catch and harmless they don't actually hurt people. ah, it's like you're walking down a street in a town and in the store, windows are negative. in depression, you tend to go into the store by those thoughts and take them home as if they're

yours. in mindfulness, you walk down the street, you still see this sort storefront with the negative thoughts, but you don't go in and buy those gosh. ah. ready ready me watch cancelli class person. i mean, often the song said it was the culture blue box today. i was the only morning to meet the teacher could contribute it usually. so would you practice and gone? yeah, cuz really new go from the moment

that she's in the nice thing is that none of my new middle charged on the one you don't want to don't want to get it for my fiance. oh that is so you can have you seen really cool. what's your name at? awesome. you're so cool. i feel like you got to artistic sold to you like the bug him. so my initial idea to do this project and my project was supposed to take one afternoon. i was trying to make these insects more attractive for my kids. so, oh,

this is julia to say hi. and what do you think about insects when i make them do things that he makes them? do you think that humans view the timeline was very, very fast? the one i photographed some cicadas and over the weekend i posted a very short post on our local next door, which is our little social network for all the people that live in the area. and everyone loved the idea and told me that they wanted to share my photos with their friends and families. so i put an extra tab on my website and that when pretty viral in the next 24 hours. and the next thing i know, washington post, what is to future me and i've been contacted by pretty much every new like local and national news. and ours, the key does have to go into outer space because the planetary gotten

a little bit more for them. so obviously some of the cicadas and not have very high tolerance for alcohol because they are already passing out. since always the keaton, i don't know if they're going to be around in july 4th. it's still a month away or so i decided to throw them in independence day party to make sure that they have lots of fun before their short lights are over. oh no, there is a fight, look about. oh dear. so this was one of my earlier said, it's kind of simple, but it's just lots of fun. it just rings true with a lot of people who after a year and a half will be in and locked down, they're looking forward to just celebrating with their friends and families and

grill. i some, the idea behind this is twofold. one is my personal interest in creating a community that normalize the data eating because i wanted to caters, but i thought it was gross. so i was like, i needed some moral support to do that myself and grill. oh grilly. oh, leave it in like a mild, sort of like i wouldn't say sure. i would say sort of like like a worm fried. if you never even one of those, it's not going to help you out my show you how do you because you were air for 600 or 6 minutes or 400 degrees the old they really remind me at the sea food. so

it does have the 1st time i got that by that people told me i would get, whereas most the other ones, it was more like a peanut giving you the full lifespan of the cater to the toner. all goes to the full, mature adult. yeah, look at that beautiful morsel morsels. yeah. the marshall cycle. try one of these. it's very mild. it's just kind of like to me. did you you think it is like the kid i wrote, i was a good lie to the job. i mean that very side of line

the caters are just so plentiful and i know from past broods that a lot of them are going to get eaten. and even if they don't, they're going to die really soon after that. and so the ethical concern is somewhat less about like causing individual suffering. so again, like i needed a whole festival, but it worked, it worked for me and it worked for a lot of i guess it's like more normal now, i'm not ready to pick up a great big, juicy grub from the compost or from our mulch pile. and pop it in my mouth, but i might roast it. i might air fry it in there. will have a whole victor here given to me . i think a free cave as before. i cook little kiner kate,

him and also to keep him from turning dark and white color. we have a fry. 17 years ago i still was year cicadas are back and oh, my goodness. today the war was so loud, it was in the side that i heard it. i thought there was war traffic, but low. it was a that was i mean, bad, bad. we gotta mind it. where does that landing only think that, okay. oh my god. i

mean, i you, if i you and they're looking. yeah, they're covering the side where target is and you're like wow, i'm even. yeah. so like you're walking around, you have to be like like this. so you don't step on any kind of go there or you know, your partner key. so this is, this is a decimal meter. when it, when you're quiet yeah. then you basically make your go to 7080. yeah. but yesterday it was really loud to went to like it was more loud, so i went up to 80 on the thing and says when i 80, that is the sound. it sounds like like a food blender. yeah. one is always like basically like having a food lender outside or all time you think it's a mirror and a female might be more than fading human. they mean it's like a say hello. are they going to, if you,

if you think they just passed each other? yeah, no one's up in the trees. well, i guess on this play where the males are singing, it's just a k to police, and it's all about romance. the guy, those teenage cicada is, are rocking out. they've been underground social distance thing. living a cold, good, like existence for 17 years in a, they're teenagers. they're going to thing they're going to have romance much the same way. we're taking off our math. we're getting together with friends, to socialize, listening to music and romance in the hair when they are coming out of their shell when they're most, they have so many things that can go wrong. and so they'll like damage their little soft body slightly. yeah. and then they begin to lose chemo. so i noticed in

watching them, and it turned from clear to o blessone to gray, to black as it was oxidizing with eric closure. so it's just like this really magical thing that was happening while we would collect them and they would be, you know, they would have dropped from the tree and be slightly bruised or something. and then this liquid got blacker in blacker. so i thought, let and it turned out it makes very color fast. i've done some solar tests and it does not disappear or fade in the sun either. so it's like really color fast. like my husband is a dear hunter and we use every part of the yeah. and it's the same even with with fluids and plants by harvest herbs for soup. once they strip the leaves, i'm like, well deserves. i don't want to waste them either. so they go in like

you're here for thing, you know, we've been married returning if you're going to think of that was male female, a different thing. all of those were liquid in oh me or you look as a role in the environment. it's kind of like a big bonus. they come out every 17 years, quite a number of animals probably get a big population. during that time, the bluebird caught

a cicada just after him metamorphose and still white and pale. with nice and soft, it's going to bring it back to the nest box and, and see the young with it. this is the male eastern blueberry. what happens to all the bodies? yeah, they decompose the bacteria, break them apart and eat them. and they become part of the soil, and they, they feed the trees that fed them right. and when they feed the trees, the trees are healthy and they see this, the new status. it's like the food is going into the cicada. it's a cycle right there for this is wildwood state park in waiting reverse new york. this is a really important place to me. this is actually where a lot of my art was inspired from. i came here with my friend, tristan, and there used to be actually

a tree right in front of me that we were moralize and put one of his unitary cards on. and it just so happened to have fallen down. a lot of this place has been rooted. i think that coming back here now and seeing that the trees are gone really as for the summer ality of the art that i made. and like so many things that are no longer here. i can make them live on through my artistic vision. this is a tattoo that i designed with my tattoo artist in 2015 after my friend tristan passed away and i drew up this cicada inspired dagger knife because he really reminded me of a cicada and every time i look down at my arm, i can know that i shouldn't give up, and i got to dance the dance just like this. kate is. do i think that's a reminder to everyone, metlife is sure. and we should enjoy it as much as we can while we can, because we're kind of like cicadas to life really just passes by fast and you never know how long you house. and i think it's just important to remember that life is

beautiful. i use. oh, oh yeah, i your all. oh no. the
