The Periodical Cicada (1907)

By Charles Lester Marlatt

Book Overview

The Periodical Cicada is a book written by C.L. Marlatt and published in 1907. The book is a comprehensive study of the life cycle, behavior, and ecology of the periodical cicada, a species of cicada that emerges from the ground every 13 or 17 years in massive numbers. Marlatt's research is based on observations and experiments conducted during the emergence of the cicadas in various locations in the eastern United States. The book covers topics such as the cicada's physical characteristics, mating behavior, and the impact of their emergence on agriculture and forestry. The Periodical Cicada is considered a seminal work in the field of entomology and is still referenced by researchers studying cicadas today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
